Book Description:
Now, from the number-one bestselling author of The Horse Whisperer comes an epic thriller of the human heart.
Two backcountry skiers find the body of a young woman embedded in the ice of a remote mountain creek. All through the night, police work with arc lights and chain saws to dig her out. But identification doesn't take as long. Abbie Cooper is wanted for murder and acts of eco-terrorism, and her picture is on law-enforcement computers all across America. But just how did she die? And what was the trail of events that led this joyous, golden child of a loving family so tragically astray?
In a journey of discovery and redemption, from the streets of New York to the daunting grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, The Divide delves into the dynamics of a fractured family and their struggle with the pain of lost happiness. Electrifying and heartbreaking, master storyteller Nicholas Evans's new novel delivers an extraordinary tale about the timeless power of nature, and about the yearnings, hopes, and disillusionments that connect-and separate -all men and women.

This was an incredible story about a family dealing with tragedy. It was written backwards, so you learn how everything came to be. Even though this was a novel, I thought it was so well-written that I couldn't put it down.

Nicholas Evans writes good stories with interesting themes. This book is about a married couple with two teenage children, a boy and a girl. From all appearences they were happily married buth husband decides to leave his family and later takes up with another woman. This leaves the wife to struggle with life and the raising of two teenages. The daughter runs away with an ecoterrorist and gets herself involved in corporate burnings and bombings to save the enviroment. However, one incident goes badly and they are forced to go on the run and be charged with murder. The daughter is subsequently found dead by two skiers frozen in a creek in the mountains of Montana. How did she die, and what was the trail of events that led this golden child of a loving family to go tragically astray. The trials and tribulations of passions and needs and dashed hopes and disillusionments all connect in this story. A good read.

This book was pretty good. A friend recommended it to me because we lived in Missoula Montana & a large portion of the book takes place there. It was a fairly quick read for me. The characters are lovable and relatable and you really feel for their struggles. Evans makes even the bad parts of people understandable. The book showcases the good and evil in all of us. The story is interesting and intruiging and it's written backwards and throughout the story you find out what happened to the family. It was a little dark, but not too much. The story was very intruiging and original.
You know how you hear stories on tv about horrible things that happen to families? This is like hearing the story from the family's point of view. It's very interesting. I recommend it.

Although this was a great book, it was quite depressing, in the same vein as other Nicholas Evans novels. Not much hope, really, but still a good read.

Another triumph for Nicholas Evans! Not the same feeling as The Loop or Horse Whiperer, but still a great read.
A FEMALE BODY FOUND EMBEDED IN A REMOTE MOUNTAIN FROZEN CREEK. FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO NEW YORK, EVANS TAKES YOU ON AN EMOTIONAL AND MYSTERIOUS JOUNEY. A GREAT AUTHOR
A story of a family searching for their lost happiness. Children impacted by separation and divorce.
Author of "The Horse Whisperer," writes another novel about a family fractured by betrayal. A found body at The Divide, changes their lives forever.
This book started a little slow but I'm glad I continued to read it... a very good book. A story of an ordinary family and unforseen heartache.
