From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road
- A novel at once fabular and starkly evocative, set is an
unspecified place in Appalachia, sometime around the turn of the
century.
A woman bears her brother's child, a boy; he leaves the baby in the
woods and tells her he died of natural causes. Discovering her brother's
lie, she sets forth alone to find her son. Both brother and sister
wander separately through a countryside being scourged by three
terrifying and elusive strangers, headlong toward an eerie, apocalyptic
resolution.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest novels, The Passenger and Stella
Maris.
