Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. These stories are well crafted, with wonderful characterisation, and fantastic descriptions, but I can't say I really liked them. On the whole they are about unhappy people, most with unhappy relationships, some end oddly, and all made me feel rather gloomy. If they weren't so well written, and original, I would have given it a much lower rating. They are great examples of good writing, but not something to cosy up with and enjoy. no reviews | add a review

The subject matter is all very familiar to readers of Proulx - rural America (particularly New England in this collection), family, pick-up trucks, the outdoors, seasons. I'd recommend this book for its simple, engaging stories and brooding, slightly ominous mood. ( )
