For fans of Cormac McCarthy and Annie Proulx, "a wonderfully
cinematic story" ("The Washington Post") set in the post-Katrina
South after violent storms have decimated the region.
"It had been raining for weeks. Maybe months. He had forgotten the
last day that it hadn't rained, when the storms gave way to the
pale blue of the Gulf sky, when the birds flew and the clouds were
white and sunshine glistened across the drenched land."
""The Gulf Coast has been brought to its knees. Years of
catastrophic hurricanes have so punished and depleted the region
that the government has drawn a new boundary ninety miles north of
the coastline. Life below the Line offers no services, no
electricity, and no resources, and those who stay behind live by
their own rules--including Cohen, whose wife and unborn child were
killed during an evacuation attempt. He buried them on family land
and never left.
But after he is ambushed and his home is ransacked, Cohen is forced
to flee. On the road north, he is captured by Aggie, a fanatical,
snake-handling preacher who has a colony of captives and dangerous
visions of repopulating the barren region. Now Cohen is faced with
a decision: continue to the Line alone, or try to shepherd the
madman's prisoners across the unforgiving land with the biggest
hurricane yet bearing down--and Cohen harboring a secret that poses
the greatest threat of all.
Eerily prophetic in its depiction of a Southern landscape ravaged
by extreme weather, "Rivers" is a masterful tale of survival and
redemption in a world where the next devastating storm is never far
behind."""This is the kind of book that lifts you up with its
mesmerizing language then pulls you under like a riptide" ("The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution").
