This stunning debut novel by O. Henry Prize winner Emily Ruskovich is full of extraordinary women and men overcoming extraordinary loss through love and forgiveness, in the words of Hannah Tinti. Ann and Wade have carved out a living for themselves from a rugged landscape in northern Idaho, but they are bound together by more than love. From the beginning, Ann attempts to piece together the truth of what happened to the family that came before her. In a story told from multiple perspectives those of Ann, Wade, and Wade's first wife, Jenny, now in prison for murder and in exquisite, razor-sharp prose, we gradually learn of the shocking act that originally brought Ann and Wade together, and which reverberates through the lives of every character in "Idaho".
