| Summary |
?a mesmerizing, mythic saga of four motherless brothers at war with one another and with their stern father?Above all, as its title promises, it's a story about forgiveness and a hard-won redemption?[Machart] has a good ear for Western speech, and he writes as convincingly about an era he never experienced as he does about such diverse topics as cotton farming, quail hunting and gelding stallions. The echoes of McCarthy are loud in his lush style, but there are also undertones of Faulkner, Larry McMurtry, Norman Maclean and Charles Frazier. Machart blends these influences into a style uniquely his. The Wake of Forgiveness is a fine debut. |
