pickI love this author. I‘ve heard this is not his best novel, but I really enjoyed it. Not a fan of a main character who is passive. But the writing is so good it‘s easy to overlook that. Great road trip story set in the early 1900‘s.

pickI don‘t know whether to wish Leif Enger would give us the gift of more novels, or to be glad that he hasn‘t. Each book is a wonderful gem, the characters deep and fascinating. Here, we are transported to 1915 with Monte Becket (a novelist struggling to produce a second book) and Glendon Hale (an aging outlaw) as they embark on a quest. The characters they meet are unforgettable . Published in 2008. Highly recommended.
pickIt has the feel of a traditional yarn, a tall tale of men in search of themselves.
Thrifty Wednesday finds. I loved Peace Like a River, so I am happily starting So Brave.
"A line only gets grace when it curves, you know." For me, a memorable, beautiful story of what grace can look like and the lifelong journey of failure & redemption~ moments of delight, too!
