Aroostock County in northern Maine was one of the most affluent regions in the country when pulp and paper were king. Now, though, it's hard times, and the people who live there must necessarily make hard choices. In Shonna Milliken Humphrey's novel we get to know these people in all their courage and weakness as they move with a hardscrabble dignity through the somewhat ragged remnants of that old affluent society. Show Me Good Land is a page-turner, full of grace and humor, that also gives us a brand new look at what makes us human. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Fiction.
Literature.
Set in fictional Fort Angus, Maine, Show Me Good Land tells the story of a small rural town struggling with poverty and decay after decades of prosperity. Loosely linked through a grisly murder, its characters must navigate the ambiguous moral landscape of a waning community. It is a moving, sometimes melancholy, often funny novel about family, community, loss, redemption, and coming home. The pleasure lies in exploring the personalities of the characters, none of whom are all good or all bad, and eventually deciding where the reader's own moral lines are drawn. Not since Carolyn Chute's The Beans of Egypt, Maine, has a cast of characters been so shocking, beautifully rendered, and ultimately likeable. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
