07.24: Scott Cheshire
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
Scott Cheshire's High as the Horses' Bridles (Henry Holt) is an urgent, electric debut novel about inheritance, belief, and a father and son divided by a dangerous prophecy. In rhapsodic language steeped in the oral tradition of American evangelism, Cheshire brings us under his spell. Remarkable in scale — moving from 1980 Queens, to sunny present-day California, to a tent revival in 19th-century rural Kentucky — and shot through with the power and danger of belief and the love that binds generations, High as the Horses' Bridles is a bold, heartbreaking debut from a new American voice.
