From NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION 5 UNDER 35 HONOREE and FLANNERY
O'CONNOR AWARD WINNER Melinda Moustakis, a debut novel set in
Alaska, about the turbulent marriage of two unlikely homesteaders
"A beautiful novel, quiet as a snowfall, warm as a glowing wood
stove...Admirers of Marilynne Robinson and Alice Munro are bound to
appreciate." --NPR "Spare and exquisite, tough and lovely. The
sentences build on themselves, becoming expansive and staggering in
their sweep." --The New York Times Book Review Anchorage, 1956.
When Marie and Lawrence first lock eyes at the Moose Lodge, they
are immediately drawn together. But when they decide to marry, days
later, they are more in love with the promise of homesteading than
anything. For Lawrence, his parcel of 150 acres is an opportunity
to finally belong in a world that has never delivered on its
promise. For Marie, the land is an escape from the empty future she
sees spinning out before her, and a risky bet is better than none
at all. But over the next few years, as they work the land in an
attempt to secure a deed to their homestead, they must face
everything they don't know about each other. As the Territory of
Alaska moves toward statehood and inexorable change, can Marie and
Lawrence create something new, or will they break apart trying?
Immersive and wild-hearted, joyfully alive to both the intimate and
the elemental, Homestead is an unflinching portrait of a new state
and of the hard-fought, hard-bitten work of making a family.
