Description

Rachel Seiffert, author of The Dark Room, powerfully evokes our need for human connection in this brilliant and haunting group of stories. From the title piece, in which a young biologist conceals his discoveries at a polluted river from a local woman, to the family aided by an enemy in ‘The Crossing’, to the old man weighing his regrets in ‘Francis John Jones, 1924 -‘ Seiffert’s acclaimed, refined prose movingly captures the lives of her characters in their most essential, secret moments.A Rocky Mountain News Best Book of the Year.
