THE WAKE OF FORGIVENESS

An EarlyWord debut to watch for the fall, The Wake of Forgiveness by Bruce Machart, was featured on NPR’s
Weekend Edition Saturday and received a ringing endorsement from Susan Salter Reynolds in the Los Angeles Times, in a review that begins with this evocative line about the book’s power, “Lavaca County, Texas — one moment it’s a place you’ve never been, the next it’s a place you can’t forget.”

Thorndike will publish the book in large type in February. Recorded Books is doing an audio version. The anticipated release date is 11/29/10.

    Houghton Mifflin Harcourt suddenly has a eye for the New Western: i.e. novels set in the left half of the US that are also serious literary fictions of family, conscience, and/or race relations. “Wake of Forgiveness” is very good; I thought “Deep Creek” was even better, in both story and style…and I’m not all that into historical fiction.
