River Talk

Described in a Kirkus starred review as &quot;a triumphant, probing debut,&quot; <i><b>River Talk</b></i> introduces an unforgettable array of characters. A woman reconsiders her decision to enter a polygamous marriage; an Iraq War veteran struggles to reclaim compromised relationships; a taxidermist plies his trade to woo the woman he loves; a Somali refugee takes a job at the local mill to support her family. In surefooted and emotionally deft prose, Anderson explores loss and desire, regret and hope. Everywhere we are reminded of all that a single life contains. <b>Named to Kirkus Book Reviews' Best Books of 2014.</b>
