A quiet and hopeful literary tale that marvelously explores the meaning of life, friendship, and family\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Carrier has outdone herself as she returns with this heartwarming second installment in The Riven Country Series that plunges readers back into the world of her extraordinary characters\u2019 lives. The pain of losing Emily has not left Senga\u2019s heart, but life has been kind to her otherwise: with a gentle, extraordinary man at her side, a close group of friends, and the quiet country life Senga is content. After getting an unexpected inheritance, Senga decides to see her old grandmother in Italy, but the trip will bring more than she hoped for. Meanwhile, the Berry place outlaws are back in their back-country hideout. An accident that deserves compassion bring them face to face with Senga. But will she be able to offer it? Carrier efficiently builds an array of worlds, sketching both her present-day characters\u2019 endearing worlds and the old Intriguing world of High Wolf with nuance and delicacy. Carrier\u2019s diverse cast is beautifully rendered, and the connection between her characters is both contemplative and heartening. Senga\u2019s inner turmoil is balanced with the quiet optimism she holds for life in general. Though readers don\u2019t get to spend much time with High Wolf, he with his perception, insight, and compassion leaves a lasting impression. This sweeping tale is as much a life story as it is a meditation on love, grief, and inspiration. Readers who love the first installment will find this one to be an absolute knockout. A treat for lovers of literary fiction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A quiet and hopeful literary tale that marvelously explores the meaning of life, friendship, and family\u2026 Carrier has outdone herself as she returns with this heartwarming second installment in The Riven Country Series that plunges readers back into the world of her extraordinary characters\u2019 lives.
