"Krueger aims higher and hits harder with a standalone novel that shares much with his other work....A novel that transforms narrator and reader alike." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred), A picaresque tale of adventure during the Great Depression. Part Grapes of Wrath , part Huckleberry Finn , Krueger's novel is a journey over inner and outer terrain toward wisdom and freedom., "The tone is much like To Kill a Mockingbird , with its combination of dread and nostalgia."-- Detroit News, Everything about this book, from language to ideas to Aeschylus's epigram is beautiful and you'll think about it long after you're finished reading., Praise for Ordinary Grace: "A pitch-perfect, wonderfully evocative examination of violent loss. In Frank Drum's journey away from the shores of childhood-a journey from which he can never return-we recognize the heartbreaking price of adulthood and its 'wisdoms.' I loved this book.", Absorbing and wonderfully-paced, this fictional narrative set against historical truths mesmerizes the reader with its evocations of compassion, courage, and self-discovery. . . THIS TENDER LAND is a gripping, poignant tale swathed in both mythical and mystical overtones., Everything about this book, from language to ideas to Aeschylus's epigraph is beautiful and you'll think about it long after you're finished reading., Praise for This Tender Land "If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, you'll love This Tender Land by best-selling author William Kent Krueger. This story is as big-hearted as they come.", Not often does a story feel at once fresh and familiar.

This story is as big-hearted as they come." -- Parade Magazine, Praise for Ordinary Grace , winner of the 2014 Edgar Award for Best Novel "Pitch-perfect...I loved this book.", Besides being a terrific story that examines a powerful range of human experiences and emotions, it was the authentic voice of the teenage narrator, Frank Drum, that kept me reading late into the night. Though the tone is quiet, Krueger artfully layered the story with suspenseful examinations of family life, death, fury, spiritual fiber and redemption., "More than a simple journey; it is a deeply satisfying odyssey, a quest in search of self and home. Richly imagined and exceptionally well plotted and written, the novel is, most of all, a compelling, often haunting story that will captivate both adult and young adult readers." -- Booklist, "Once in a blue moon a book drops down on your desk that demands to be read.

I loved this book.", A respected mystery writer turns his attention to the biggest mystery of all: God. An award-winning author for his long-running Cork O' Connor series, Krueger aims higher and hits harder with a standalone novel that shares much with his other work.... 'the awful grace of God,' as it manifests itself within the novel, would try the faith of the most devout believer. Yet, ultimately, the world of this novel is one of redemptive grace and mercy, as well as unidentified corpses and unexplainable tragedy. A novel that transforms narrator and reader alike., Praise for Ordinary Grace , winner of the 2014 Edgar Award for Best Novel "Pitch-perfect...I loved this book." --Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Live by Night and The Given Day, One cannot read Ordinary Grace without feeling as if it is destined to be hailed as a classic work of literature. Ordinary Grace is one of those very rare books in which one regrets reaching its end, knowing that the experience of having read it for the first time will never be repeated.

The gathering threat and its consummation are satisfying and meaningful. This is an intelligent and compelling story told with great heart....

- v***v (2061)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
