About this product

Product Information

The Road Home lies in the shadows of Manifest Destiny and Wounded Knee; it is etched into the landscape of an old man's memory and into the stubborn dreams of a young man's heart. In one of Jim Harrison's greatest works, five members of the Northridge family narrate the tangled epic of their history on the expanses of the Nebraska plains. They strive to understand their fates, to reconcile with demons of the past, to live in accordance with the land and to die with grace. As the family grapples with the mysterious forces that both pull them apart and draw them inextricably back together, they must come to term with life's greatest and hardest lessons: the deception of passion, the pain of love, the vitality of art, and the supplication to nature's generosity and fury.

  • THE ROAD HOME by Jim Harrison

    A book of word pictures. Loads and loads of words painting beautiful pictures of the upper Midwest. The five characters who are narrating (in journalistic style) are drawn from Harrison's previous novel "Dalva" and more finely tuned. Each character is dealing more closely with his/her situation as thrown out to us in "Dalva". I trust and hope that a mysterious event just post Civil War will be solved by this novel's end (I haven't yet finished it). Neither book is an easy read for me, but it's what I've spent the summer doing in my "spare" time and I'm enjoying every minute. If you like the world of nature, Native Americana and descriptive writing, this is it!
