i couldn't put this book down. i had read the author's book "this tender land" and loved it and was looking forward to this one. and it did not disappoint. this is historical fiction at its best. set in rural farmland in minnesota, the book is filled with rich characters and exquisite descriptions of the land itself, including the alabaster river. set in the 1950's, this is a coming of age story about two boys, the lives of many war veterans, and the strong women who love them.
