Summary
For fans of Cormac McCarthy and Ernest Hemingway comes a debut novel that Book Sirens calls, "[h]eartbreakingly beautiful, raw and enchanting."
A father raises his boy in the isolated North. But for those lands and minds with an unsettled past, other dangers may lurk the woods where father and son hunt the timber.
He’s known as the trapper, and his family has a long history in these remote woods. Now it’s just him and the boy, and he’ll raise him in the world he knows—the forest, where threats take recognizable forms: harsh weather, peak predators, the encroachment of civilization at odds with their lifestyle. A tale told in captivating prose of wild living, where human skin is no boundary for either the beauty or cruelty of nature.
After the arrival of a foreign presence, the forest in all its naked majesty becomes an arena for the dueling forces of life: joy and suffering, good and evil, compassion and vengeance. One fateful day their woodland life is violently broken—shouldn’t those guilty of such injustice be held to account? Though the forest is isolated, this may be a story of the wilderness existing within us all.
Critic reviews
“Immortal North is one of those classic works best savored slowly. I was so immersed in the wonders of the natural world and the mysteries of human love and existence that I wanted the story never to end. One of the finest examples of true literary fiction I have ever read.” (Marcus Lynn Dean, author of The Scream of an Eagle)
