Description

Now in paperback, Leif Enger's new novel is a lively and big-hearted redemption tale. Set against the backdrop of 1915 Minnesota, it tells the story of Monte Becket, a writer struggling to find his purpose after years of success. When he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, Monte agrees to travel into Glendon's past on a quest for absolution. As they flee their pursuer, Monte leaves behind his family and the law, embarking on a journey that tests his loyalties and morals. With its smooth mix of romanticism and gritty reality, this novel examines one ordinary man's determination as he risks everything to understand what it's all worth. A fiery adventure unfolds, leaving Monte further from home than ever before. With its unique blend of style and substance, So Brave, Young, and Handsome is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
