⭐️3.75/5
Five years late to the craze for this book, but I can see why it was popular. Easy to read while dealing with big subjects such as grief, trauma, and our world‘s strange obsession with tragedy. Tear jerking, thoughtful, and not utterly sad, this was a good read. Needs TW when recommending but I‘ll read more of her work!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A must read, Amor Towles‘ voice is always a joy for me. Set in 1950s with main characters from small town Nebraska (which as a girl from small town Nebraska I appreciate the way he accurately was able to capture this), this layered story looks at right and wrong, the meaning of legacy, and friendship in ways not always expected. Unreliable narrations with multiple POV with distinct voices, definite rec for anyone who enjoys lit fic.

It‘s not until near the end of the book that we learn the significance of the title, and it‘s a little disappointing, to be honest. Also, I think the way the author ended the novel is what made me rate it only 4 stars. It was quite abrupt and a bit of a let down and mood breaker. But this was a charming coming of age novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have no idea how or where I stumbled upon this book but I‘m so glad I did! Fans of “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” and Garrison Keillor will appreciate the themes and the storytelling. Reading the descriptions of Trevanian‘s other books, I‘m not sure if I‘ll continue reading his stuff but this one was a good read. Full disclosure though, I did just skim the chapter “Love on Pearl Street”, and got the gist on what 11 year old Jean-Luc got up to 🤭🙄

The town of Gros Ventre was so far from anywhere that you had to take a bus to catch the bus. #firstlinefridays

Hunting, trapping, tradition, and a great love between Grandfather and Grandson. The family bonds were lovely. The nature scenes intense. The reason for Ezra being sent to the wilderness seemed almost irrelevant.

I wish you guys could hear the pouring rain in my picture, it‘s just perfect reading weather! A rainy night with no plans, a good book, and a Guinness leftover from Monday 🍀🍺 -Logs off-

I have eight #River books on my Kindle. I just finished & LOVED Frozen River & read Follow the River Home several years ago. The the others are still in my TBR. 🏞️
