About This Item
US: Random House, 2009. Paperback. Good. In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern N ew Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugi tives, forced to run from Coos County--to Boston, to southern Vermont, to T oronto--pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fier cely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them. In a stor y spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River depicts the recent hal f-century in the United States as "a living replica of Coos County, where l ethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course." What further d istinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author's unmistakable voice --the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.
