A stunning successor to his top selling novel Peacefulness Like a River, Leif Enger’s new work is a solid and nimble account about an maturing train robber on a mission to reconcile the claims of love and common sense on his life, and the failed copy writer who complements him.
In 1915 Minnesota, novelist Monte Becket has lost his sense of goal. His only success long behind him, Monte lives simply with his wife and boy. But when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a new world of opportunity and experience occurs. Glendon has spent years in obscurity, but the guilt he harbors for abandoning his partner, Blue, over 2 decades previously, has lured him from hiding. As the present day age marches quickly forward, Glendon aspires to travel back to his past--heading to California to get Blue’s forgiveness. Beguiled and encouraged, Monte soon detects himself leaving behind his own family to embark for the unruly Western with his fugitive guide. Because they frantically flee from the relentless Charles Siringo, an ex-Pinkerton who’s been hunting Glendon for years, Monte falls ever further from his family and regulations, to be tempered by a fiery adventure that he may never go back home.
