Laurentian Divide
Laurentian Divide: A Novel | Sarah Stonich
6 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Poignant portrayals of life on the edge in northern Minnesota border country, from the best-selling author of These Granite Islands and Vacationland Bitter winters are nothing new in Hatchet Inlet, hard up against the ridge of the Laurentian Divide, but the advent of spring can't thaw the community's collective grief, lingering since a senseless tragedy the previous fall. What is different this year is what's missing: Rauri Paar, the last private landowner in the Reserve, whose annual emergence from his remote iced-in islands marks the beginning of spring and the promise of a kinder season. In the second volume of her Northern Trilogy, Sarah Stonich reassembles characters that endeared Vacationland to so many readers: retired union miner and widower Alpo Lahti is about to wed his charming and lively bride, Sissy Pavola, but, with Rauri unaccounted for, celebration seems premature. Alpo's son Pete struggles to find his straight and narrow, then struggles to stay on it, and even Sissy might be having second thoughts. Weaving in and out of each other's reach, trying hard to do their best (all the while wondering what that might be), Stonich's characters in all their sweetness and sorrow remind us once more of the inescapable lurches of the heart and unexpected turns of our human comedy.

A cozy fire and a good book. What more can you want?

BookNAround @Chrissyreadit I‘m in Upper Peninsula Michigan. It gets chilly here at night. And I might be a bit of a pyromaniac. 😂 🔥 5y

rretzler Growing up, we had a summer home on a lake here in Ohio. Most evenings it would be chilly enough to have to put on jeans and a sweatshirt and a fire or bonfire might be just the thing. Now when we visit, we wear shorts and wish there was air conditioning! 5y
Slajaunie I wish! It feels so hot here with the humidity you would rather be in the desert. 5y

A well-written, quirky story with oddly unique characters! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you‘re looking for big-time action adventure — this is not your book.
If your looking for a plot twist with a cliffhanger ending — this is not your book.
But... if your looking for a well-written, quirky story with oddly unique characters then, well, this IS your book!

Won from BookishFirst! I didn't realize it was the second in a trilogy, but it reads as a standalone. The author completely immerses us into the characters' lives. The writing is evocative, especially the descriptions of the weather and geography. I didn't want the book to end. Some fiction books are novels, and some are literature, and in my mind the two terms are not always interchangeable. LAURENTIAN DIVIDE is what I consider literature.

Bklover I love Bookish First! 6y

This is the 2nd book in a series but I enjoyed it on its own & had no trouble connecting with the characters. Being from MN the book felt authentic & comfortable; in some ways like Garrison Keillor‘s Lake Woebegone w/the small town feel, neighbors who‘d known each other for generations & neighbors who‘d been there for 25 years were still outsiders.
Thanks to #NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review of #LaurentianDivide

One of the books I‘m currently reading; 30% and enjoying it so far. This is the first book of hers I‘ve read and I think I‘ll be reading more of her. Thanks #NetGalley for gifting me with a copy of #LaurentianDivide to read in exchange for an honest review.
