Last Night in Twisted River - John Irving

Detalii:

In a story spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River depicts the recent half-century in the United States as a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course. What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the authors unmistakable voice--the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller. In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constables girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County--to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto--pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them.
