On a small island in a glacier-fed lake on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula a marriage is unravelling. Gary driven by thirty years of diverted plans and Irene haunted by a tragedy in her past are trying to rebuild their life together. Following the outline of Gary’s old dream they’re hauling logs out to Caribou Island in good weather and in terrible storms in sickness and in health to patch together the kind of cabin that drew them to Alaska in the first place. Across the water on the mainland Irene and Gary’s grown daughter Rhoda is starting her own life. She fantasizes about the perfect wedding day whilst her betrothed Jim the dentist wonders about the possibility of an altogether different future.From the author of the massively-acclaimed Legend of a Suicide comes a devastating novel about a marriage a couple blighted by past shadows and the weight of expectation of themselves and of each other. Brilliantly drawn and fiercely honest in its depiction of love and disappointment David Vann’s first novel confirms him as one of America’s most dazzling writers of fiction.
