Unaware that his life is about to change in ways he can't imagine, seventeen-year-old Jesse Matson ventures into the northern Minnesota woods with his father over a cold November afternoon. Perched on individual hunting stands a quarter-mile apart, they wait with their rifles for white-tailed deer. If the muffled crack of an gunshot rings out, Jesse unaccountably knows something is wrong-and he races through the trees to find his dad dead of an rifle wound, apparently self-inflicted.
But would easygoing Harold Matson really kill himself? If so, why?
Haunted by the ghost of his father, Jesse delves into family secrets, wrestles with questions of justice and retribution, and confronts the nature of his own responsibility. And when he's decided that he alone must shoulder his family's burden, the stunning and troubled Christine Montez enters his life, forcing him to reconsider his plans.
In spare, elegant prose, Lin Enger tells the storyplot of a man trying to hold his family together in a global tipped suddenly upside down. Set among pristine lakes and beneath towering pines, Undiscovered Country is simultaneously a bold reinvention of Shakespeare's Hamlet and a hair-bristling story of betrayal, revenge, and the possibilities of forgiveness.
