Wesley is one of those Montana men whose mouths hardly move when they speak, for whom words are precious things they are loath to give up.

I bought this book used at Boulder Bookstore on our vacation there a few weeks back. This book has been on my “to read” list for a while so I was happy to snag it when I saw it used. Little did I know what I would find two weeks later when I actually opened the book!
Sharing one of my favs. "A tense western and an assured debut, Black River tells the story of a man marked by a prison riot as he returns to the town--and the convict -- who shaped him."
pickI love books with unlikeable characters that you come to understand and feel sympathy for as their story unfolds. You just hope they will stop making choices that will only lead to more pain. There are many tense moments as Wes Carver, our main character, tries to deal with painful past events and move forward with his life. The author has been compared to Kent Haruf which is why I read this. I think that's a legit comparison👍
