Last Night in Twisted River
by John Irving
Description
In the remote logging camps of New Hampshire in 1954, a young boy's mistaken identity of a woman for a bear sets in motion a desperate flight from justice. Forced to become fugitives, the boy and his father embark on a decades-long journey across North America, pursued by a relentless constable. Their only ally is a rugged logger whose loyalty and protection become their lifeline. This sweeping narrative explores themes of fate, loyalty, and the enduring consequences of a single, tragic mistake, all rendered in Irving's signature blend of dark humor and profound emotional depth.
