I was disappointed with the abrupt ending. ( ) A story of loss, in so many senses of the word, and the possibility of connection. Wesley, a former corrections officer and former fiddle player, watches his wife die of leukemia, and tries to connect with his stepson, all the while dealing with the trauma of a prison riot and the prospect of parole for the man responsible. Not a spoiler - you can learn this in the first chapter or two. But oh, how it plays out, how Hulse builds each character and the rhythm of small town Montana, gives us such close access to Wesley and others. A stellar, intimate story. Not to be missed. fiction (modern western / human drama). I've summed this up as "men who don't talk about stuff trying to cope with modern problems" but it doesn't really do justice to the depth and richness of the writing and characters. I think I maybe heard S.M. Hulse was about to come out with a new book (and I'd checked this one out because the reviewer had pointed out how good her first book was), but I don't see anything forthcoming right now, so perhaps I am misremembering. In any case, she is an author to look out for. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When Wes Carver returns to Black River, he carries two things in the cab of his truck: his wife's ashes and a letter from the prison parole board. The convict who held him hostage during a riot twenty years ago is being considered for release. Wes has been away from Black River ever since the riot. He grew up in this small Montana town, and, like his father before, he made his living as a corrections officer. A talented, natural fiddler, he found solace and joy in his music. But during that riot, Bobby Williams changed everything for Wes-undermining his faith and taking away his ability to play. How can a man who once embodied evil ever come to good? How can he pay for such crimes with anything but his life? As Wes considers his own choices and grieves for all he's lost, he must decide what he believes and whether he can let Williams walk away.
