The lives and histories of the denizens of Tenney's Landing, a small Pennsylvania river town, intersect in ways both incidental and intimate as the townspeople learn that their capacity for hope and forgiveness is greater than they thought. In "Where the Devil Lost His Blanket," Elizabeth Tenney embarks on an unexpected journey to return the remains of her deceased neighbor to South America. In "Jordan's Stand," a gruff old farmer forms an unlikely friendship with a young widow. In "The Springhouse," a woman decides to leave her husband and return to Tenney's Landing, where she becomes the unofficial guardian of all manner of community secrets. Evocative, resonant, and exquisitely tender, these stories capture moments of change -- upheaval, renewal, and the quieter revolutions inspired by the small eventfulness of everyday life. Catherine Tudish's remarkable debut illuminates the shared human condition through the particulars of a small American town. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Catherine Tudish stumbles with clarification in some of her stories in this book with a sense of longing for a deeper understanding of their own.
The author did amaze me of how she wrote every story in this book connected to the fictional Tenney’s Landing, a rural Pennsylvania region but with a different subject and plot. Catherine starts with a prologue at the beginning that describes the small town and some of the characters information. She wrote about memorable characters, fascinating situations with a fine writing style but I always like having some closure when it comes to the endings… (
