A triumphant return by the author of Snow Falling on Cedars, as an attempted suicide becomes a life-enhancing diversion. Following the death of his wife Rachel and diagnosis of his own medical condition, Dr Ben Givens left his home in Seattle – heading east with his Winchester and hunting dogs in tow – not intending to return. It was to be a journey to the verges of the Columbia River, where he had entered the world and had decided he would now take his leave of it. What transpired was anything but the journey he anticipated. Instead, Ben’s perspective shifts as his intended exit transforms into an eye-opening, life-enhancing diversion, as David Guterson’s celebrated and involving prose unravels the mysteries and reveals the power of the human spirit even as it ebbs, in this moving and action-filled drama set against an unforgettable landscape. In East of the Mountains, Guterson, a top author in the realm of fiction, delivers a powerful narrative that explores the resilience of the human spirit. The story of Dr. Ben Givens, set against the unforgettable backdrop of the Columbia River, is a testament to Guterson's storytelling prowess. For fans of William Boyd (The Romantic), Lucia Berlin (Evening in Paradise), Chris Hammer (Scrublands), Bonnie Garmus (Lessons in Chemistry), and Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead).
