Doesn’t this cover grab you? I heard about Out Stealing Horses from one of the electronic newsletters I receive. Here is the blurb from Barnes & Noble:
Out Stealing Horses has been embraced across the world as a classic, a novel of universal relevance and power. Panoramic and gripping, it tells the story of Trond Sander, a sixty-seven-year-old man who has moved from the city to a remote, riverside cabin, only to have all the turbulence, grief, and overwhelming beauty of his youth come back to him one night while he’s out on a walk. From the moment Trond sees a strange figure coming out of the dark behind his home, the reader is immersed in a decades-deep story of searching and loss, and in the precise, irresistible prose of a newly crowned master of fiction.
Yet another book to add to my “to-read” pile! If any of you have read it, let me know.
I haven’t yet read it, but my book group has it on the “to read” list for the fall (October, I think). I’ve heard only positive reviews of it, so I’m looking forward to reading it. (It’s on my PBS wish list, a girl can dream, right?)
It’s definitely on my list (along with a dozen other titles).
