Dell & his twin sister Berner could easily see why their mother might have been attracted to him. But their mother Neeva
- from an educated immigrant Jewish family
- was shy artistic & alienated from their fathers small-town world of money scrapes & living on-the-fly. It was more bad instincts & bad luck that Dells parents decided to rob the bank. They werent reckless people. In the days following the arrest Dell is saved by a family friend before the authorities think to arrive. Driving across the Montana border into Saskatchewan his life hurtles towards the unknown towards a hotel in a deserted town towards the violent & enigmatic American Arthur Remlinger & towards Canada itself
- a landscape of rescue & abandonment. But as Dell discovers in this new world of secrets & upheaval he is not the only one whose own past lies on the other side of a border. In Canada Richard Ford has created a masterpiece. A visionary novel of vast landscapes complex identities & fragile humanity. It questions the fine line between the normal & the extraordinary & the moments that haunt our settled view of the world.
