Once Upon a River
Bonnie Jo Campbell
(Author)
Description
"Bonnie Jo Campbell has built her new novel like a modern-day craftsman from the old timbers of our national myths about loners living off the land, rugged tales as perilous as they are alluring. Without sacrificing any of its originality, this story comes bearing the saw marks of classic American literature, the rough-hewn sister of The Leatherstocking Tales, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Walden.

Reviews
Campbell has a ruthless and precise eye for the details of the physical world. . . . An excellent American parable about the consequences of our favorite ideal, freedom.--Jane Smiley
With all the fixings of a Johnny Cash song--love, loss, redemption--Campbell captures these Michiganders and their earthy, brutal paradise in tales rich with insight and well worth the trip.
Margo's struggle to survive proves irresistible, like the tug of the Stark itself.
