Evergreen: A novel | Rebecca Rasmussen
7 posts | 5 read | 7 to read
From the celebrated author of The Bird Sisters, a gorgeously rendered and emotionally charged novel that spans generations, telling the story of two siblings, raised apart, attempting to share a life. It is 1938 when Eveline, a young bride, follows her husband into the wilderness of Minnesota. Though their cabin is rundown, they have a river full of fish, a garden out back, and a new baby boy named Hux. But when Emil leaves to take care of his sick father, the unthinkable happens: a stranger arrives, and Eveline becomes pregnant. She gives the child away, and while Hux grows up hunting and fishing in the woods with his parents, his sister, Naamah, is raised an orphan. Years later, haunted by the knowledge of this forsaken girl, Hux decides to find his sister and bring her home to the cabin. But Naamah, even wilder than the wilderness that surrounds them, may make it impossible for Hux to ever tame her, to ever make up for all that she, and they, have lost. Set before a backdrop of vanishing forest, this is a luminous novel of love, regret, and hope. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

A book that makes you feel like being outside. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I suppose if I had any complaints about this book, it would have to be that it sometimes felt like things were moving too fast. I'm glad I picked this book up and I will definitely read it again.

Suzy200 Be keen to know what the Pam Jenoff is like. I loved The Kommandant's Girl (which I think was her debut) but all the rest have paled in comparison. 8y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Suzy200 I kept meaning to read that one first. He Wants is pretty quick, so I have to make a decision if Jenoff's is next or Rasmussen's...might have to hide behind my back and choose. 🙂 Jenoff's has been on my shelf for so long I feel I Need to read it now! 8y
