Empire Of Wild - Readings

Description

A NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER One of the most anticipated books of the summer for Time, Harper s Bazaar, Bustle and Publishers Weekly Deftly written, gripping and informative. Empire of Wild is a rip-roaring read! Margaret Atwood Empire of Wild is doing everything I love in a contemporary novel and more. It is tough, funny, beautiful, honest and propulsive Tommy Orange, author of There There Dimaline turns an old story into something newly haunting and resonant New York Times An utterly compelling blend of propulsive narrative, starkly beautiful writing and passionate, near dysfunctional love Daily Mail Broken-hearted Joan has been searching for her husband, Victor, for almost a year - ever since he went missing on the night they had their first serious argument. One hung-over morning in a Walmart parking lot in a little town near Georgian Bay, she is drawn to a revival tent where the local Metis have been flocking to hear a charismatic preacher. By the time she staggers into the tent the service is over, but as she is about to leave, she hears an unmistakable voice. She turns, and there is Victor. Only he insists he is not Victor, but the Reverend Eugene Wolff, on a mission to bring his people to Jesus. With only two allies - her Johnny-Cash-loving, 12-year-old nephew Zeus, and Ajean, a foul-mouthed euchre shark with deep knowledge of the old Metis ways - Joan sets out to remind the Reverend Wolff of who he really is. If he really is Victor, his life and the life of everyone she loves, depends upon her success.
