The Road Home | Jim Harrison
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Jim Harrison is one of this countrys most acclaimed writers, and in The Road Home he delivers a majestic and generous story that is no less than a true American epic.The Road Home continues the story of his captivating heroine Dalva and her peculiar and remarkable family. It encompasses the voices of Dalvas grandfather John Northridge, the austere, hard-living half-Sioux patriarch; Naomi, the widow of his favorite son and namesake; Paul, the first Northridge son, who lived in the shadow of his brother; and Nelse, the son taken from Dalva at birth, who now has returned to find her. It is haunted by the hovering spirits of the father and the lover Dalva lost to this countrys wars. It is a family history drenched in suffering and joy, imbued with fierce independence and love, rooted in the Nebraska soil, and intertwined with the destiny of whites and native Americans in the American West.Epic in scope, stretching from the close of the nineteenth century to the present day, The Road Home is a stunning and trenchant novel, written with the humor, humanity, and inimitable evocation of the American spirit that have delighted Jim Harrisons legion of fans.

Darn, why can't a camera really capture the beauty experienced in the flesh? I had to stop finally and just take a moment to breathe this in deep and long. This is what @BookBabe & I drive through to get from the library to the house. There's a rainbow right above us and steam swirling off the road in many spots. There's the post-storm drip-dropping of the latent raindrops sliding off the foliage & the birds chirping & the animals rustling. 😎👌🏻

I may try to go back to it at some point but I cannot follow this one. Maybe it's me but the memories and current events are not clearly defined. I like many of the descriptions and characters, just wish I could follow the storyline.
