Klappentext:
A breathtaking story of a father and a son in 20th-century North America from the award-winning author of A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY. In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, a twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, pursued by the constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who … mehrbefriends them. From the novel's taut opening sentence to its elegiac final chapter, what distinguishes LAST NIGHT IN TWISTED RIVER is the author's unmistakable voice.
