Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The new novel (his 12th) from John Irving, is reminiscent of "The Cider House Rules" and "A Prayer For Owen Meaney" in tone, resonance and narrative power. Its story spans 5 decades, beginning in 1954 in a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire. A nervous 12-year old mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear; he and his father are forced to become fugitives, pursued across time and distance by the implacable constable, their only protector a libertarian logger who befriends them. A new novel from this major American author is sure to receive major media coverage.
