Articoli correlati a The Mountain Can Wait
Set in a stunning but scarred Canadian landscape, THE MOUNTAIN CAN WAIT is a story of fathers and sons and the heartache they cause each other, in the tradition of Annie Proulx. Tom Berry has always been a loner, a man who would happily live out his days in the wilderness, with just enough ammunition and kerosene to see out the winter. A single father, he has raised his children with the same quiet and absolute dedication he brings to his forestry business, but now he's discovering that might not have been enough. When his son, Curtis, on the brink of adulthood, disappears after a tragic accident, it falls to Tom, the hunter, to track him down. Whether he can truly reach Curtis is another matter.

Recensione:
THE MOUNTAIN CAN WAIT is a taut, psychologically gripping novel populated by original characters constantly at battle with nature, family, society, and themselves. This is a book that kept me up at night. Leipciger has Margaret Atwood's rare flair for crafting an intelligent and suspenseful novel (Nickolas Butler, author of SHOTGUN LOVE SONGS)
Clear and beautiful, like swimming in a mountain lake (Mark Haddon)
The Mountain Can Wait is as haunting, wild and compelling as the landscape it describes (Claire Cameron, author of The Bear)
Haunting and beautiful (Huffington Post - Hannah Beckerman)
Leipciger beautifully captures the tender and mercurial relationship between father and son. These are characters you care about, flawed and haunted, existing in the hard yet undeniably radiant world of the Canadian mountains (Michele Forbes, author of GHOST MOTH)
