Sometime back in 2008 I read Leif Enger's Peace Like a River and loved it. I passed the book along to my mother, an asthmatic, who also loved it. Not only for the story, but b/c she said it was the best description of what it feels like to be an asthma sufferer. Like I said I loved PLaR, but for no good reason I never picked up Enger's second book, the subject of this post.
So Brave, Young and Handsome is kind of a western, something like a Charles Portis western maybe. Humorous at times, sad or poignant at others. I loved the book. Some chapters are just a page or two long, parts of the story stretch belief, but I don't care. I hated putting this book down each night, and thought about how I'd get to continue reading all the next day.
