Book Synopsis Twisted Tree by : Kent Meyers

Download or read book Twisted Tree written by Kent Meyers. This book was released on 2009-09-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “beautifully written” novel about a murder in small-town South Dakota explores “a haunted territory of regret, longing and guilt” (Jess Walter). Hayley Jo Zimmerman is gone. Taken. And the citizens of the windswept prairie town of Twisted Tree must come to terms with this tragedy—the loss, the repercussions, and the secrets they carry—as one girl’s short life unfolds through the stories of those who knew her. Among them are a supermarket clerk hiding the terrors of her past; an ex-priest who remembers a lost love; an abused caretaker exacting a long-awaited revenge; Hayley Jo’s best friend, who fed her addiction; and her father, channeling his grief in desperate and unexpected ways. As Hayley Jo’s murder recasts and reconnects these left-behind lives, her absence roots itself in the community in astonishingly violent and tender ways. One of the best contemporary writers on the American West, Kent Meyers takes us into the complexity of community regardless of landscape, and offers a tribute to the powerful effect one person’s life can have on everyone she knew. “Meyers’s small masterpiece deserves comparison to the work of Raymond Carver, Joy Williams, and Peter Matthiessen.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Like Russell Banks in The Sweet Hereafter, Kent Meyers spins out his intimate life stories from the hub of a small town tragedy and takes us into places we never thought we’d go.” —Stewart O’Nan, author of Songs for the Missing

Book Synopsis The Twisted Tree (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) by : Frank Baker

Download or read book The Twisted Tree (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) written by Frank Baker. This book was released on 2021-05-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "twisted tree" is a blackthorn branch, picked by Tansy Penderil, a naive young Cornish girl, on the same day she meets the handsome but diabolical Roger Chailey in the woods for the first time. But it is not the only souvenir of their encounter: eighteen years later, Tansy's son, David, is the living image of Chailey, sharing not only his father's good looks but also his immoral ways. David's resemblance to her first lover triggers powerful feelings in Tansy and leads to a strange relationship between mother and son, as well as a terrible and shocking conclusion . . . The Twisted Tree (1935) is the extremely rare first novel by Frank Baker (1908-1983), best known for his avian apocalypse novel The Birds (1936) and his classic fantasy Miss Hargreaves (1940). A story that one critic said might have been "written by the ghost of D. H. Lawrence seated on the grave of Mary Webb," Baker's brooding Gothic drama is an important rediscovery that remains a gripping and powerful read. "A dark and terrible tale." - Howard Spring "An imaginative novel told with a haunting sense of subconscious evil . . . The climax comes with startling effect. A vivid and stirring book." - Manchester Evening News "A thoroughly interesting and often moving tale." - Compton Mackenzie
