I wanted to love this book, given its years of praise, but in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to embrace it the way others have. It is well-written with fully three-dimensional characters, but after slogging through its poetic asides and endless metaphors, I felt no closer to these people than I had at the beginning. Nor, as an Agnostic, did I relate to the author’s faith-filled worldview, which may have kept me from appreciating this book on a deeper level. It left me with much to think about and discuss with my book group, but it ultimately joins the ranks of books whose cult following eludes me.

An eloquent novel of the strength of family, the power of love, and the grace of faith.

This is, hands down, one of my favorite books. I love the fact that the reader can almost hear echoes in the text of Western novels Enger must have read as a child. Reuben and Swede might as well be Scout and Jem Finch, reincarnated in the 1960’s American Midwest, having only switched places as protagonist, and having lost none of their rare spunk.

This book is wonderful! It has some suspense and keeps the reader wanting more. It combines faith, love, a little romance, a little western and a great plot to really pull the reader in and help them become a part of the story. You can really feel like you're there.

A Minnesota classic story of family love. I did not want to put this book down, yet I was sorry when the story was over. I loved every page from beginning to end.

Hard to get into, but once I did I could not put it down. I liked the relationship with the Dad and his son.
