Description


In this stunning successor to his bestseller "Peace Like a River," Enger pens a rugged and nimble story about an aging train robber on a quest to reconcile the claims of love and judgment on his life, and the failed writer who goes with him.

Praise for So Brave, Young, and Handsome…


“Deserves to become a classic.”—The Miami Herald

“An almost perfect novel . . . A great read.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“A sharp and brainy redemption tale . . . [Enger’s] laid claim to a musical, sometimes magical, and deeply satisfying kind of storytelling.”—Los Angeles Times

“An adventure of the heart and mind.”—Washington Post Book World

“Enger is a formidably gifted writer. . . . At times reminiscent of the sinew and gristle in the craggier work of Annie Proulx, and at other times aspiring to a Jean Shepherdesque folk poetry.”—Chicago Tribune

“A fine novel . . . worthy of comparison with Shane and Monte Walsh and True Grit.”—Dallas Morning News

“Superbly written, utterly compelling . . . A cracking good adventure tale.”—Star Tribune(Minneapolis)
