I’ve enjoyed Mosher in the past, he writes about Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom in a way that really gets at the heart of the place without feeling inaccessible or clubby. This is his first novel, a tale of a Quebecois family who wind up in Vermont but not too far into Vermont. Over generations they support themselves with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Some of them disappear and then return in the strangest of ways. A paean to a place, and a way of life which I enjoyed but found a little confusing at times.
