The Road Home by Jim Harrison (1999, Paperback)

A book of word pictures. Loads and loads of words painting beautiful pictures of the upper Midwest. The five characters who are narrating (in journalistic style) are drawn from Harrison's previous novel "Dalva" and more finely tuned. Each character is dealing more closely with his/her situation as thrown out to us in "Dalva". I trust and hope that a mysterious event just post Civil War will be solved by this novel's end (I haven't yet finished it). Neither book is an easy read for me, but it's what I've spent the summer doing in my "spare" time and I'm enjoying every minute. If you like the world of nature, Native Americana and descriptive writing, this is it!
