No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A thrilling and richly drawn family drama about a daughter's quest to understand her mother's mysterious death.
On the morning of her seventieth birthday, Georgianna Grove receives an unexpected letter that calls her back to Missing Lake, Wisconsin, where her mother was murdered sixty- six years earlier. Georgie's father had confessed to the murder the next morning and was carted off to a state penitentiary. Haunted by the night that took both her parents away and determined to unearth the truth, Georgie takes her reluctant family on what will become a dangerous canoe trip up the swollen Bone River to return to Missing Lake.
Acclaimed novelist Susan Richards Shreve, a writer whose "unique presentation of human experience makes reading a delight" (Elizabeth Strout), captures the tenor of the times with clarity and elegance as Georgie untangles a web of bigotry and half- forgotten memories. For readers of Anne Tyler and Sue Miller, More News...
