Last Night in Twisted River
12-year-old Danny and his father Dominic work in the kitchen of a New Hampshire logging camp overlooking the Twisted River. When Danny mistakes the local constable’s girlfriend for a bear, a tragic accident occurs, forcing them to become fugitives. Pursued by the constable and befriended by a river driver named Ketchum, the pair spends 50 years on the run, traveling from Boston to Vermont to Toronto. Award-winning author John Irving’s (Until I Find You, 2005) 12th novel is “a moving portrait of a father-and-son relationship.” (Booklist)
