'A masterpiece... one of the best prose writers in our time'
Michael Ondaatje Robert Grainier is a day labourer in the American
West, felling the trees that feed the railways. It is the start of
the twentieth century, and the world is changing at a rapid pace.
Life is fragile in the wilds of the frontier; disease and forest
fires are rife. Buffeted by the loss of his family, Grainier
journeys, struggling to make sense of the bewildering changes
transforming the nation. Rich and muscular, sweeping and
incantatory, Train Dreams is an epic in miniature: an elegy to the
ravaged beauty of a lost landscape, and a haunting indictment of
the cost of our modern way of life. 'A work of extraordinary power
and consummate skill... A masterpiece' Observer
