This month, we will discuss the novel, The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger, listening time, 13.5 hours. TBBS Book # DB116354. RSVP at: (847) 510-2060. On Memorial Day in Jewel, Minnesota, the body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the Alabaster River, dead from a shotgun blast. The investigation falls to Sheriff Brody Dern, a highly decorated war hero who still carries the physical & emotional scars from his military service. Even before Dern has the results of the autopsy, vicious rumors begin to circulate that the killer must be Noah Bluestone, a Native American WWII veteran who has recently returned to Jewel with a Japanese wife. As suspicions & accusations mount & the town teeters on the edge of more violence, Dern struggles not only to find the truth of Quinn’s murder but also put to rest the demons from his own past. Caught up in the torrent of anger that sweeps through Jewel are a war widow & her adolescent son, the intrepid publisher of the local newspaper, an aging deputy, & a crusading female lawyer, all of whom struggle with their own tragic histories & harbor secrets that Quinn’s death threatens to expose. Both a complex, spellbinding mystery & a masterful portrait of mid-century American life, The River We Remember offers an unflinching look at the wounds left by the wars we fight abroad & at home, a moving exploration of the ways in which we seek to heal, & a testament to the enduring power of the stories we tell about the places we call home.
RSVP to Melissa at: (847) 510-2060.
