Wendell Berry's haunting novel follows Andy Catlett as he revisits the summer of 1944 when his beloved Uncle Andrew was killed and, years later, seeks to unravel the mystery of that violent act and understand how memory and love shape our lives across decades

In this, Wendell Berry's fifth novel and ninth work of fiction, Andy Catlett revisits his own ninth year in the summer of 1944 when his beloved uncle is shot and killed by the surly and mysterious Carp Harmon. This is his Uncle Andrew, after whom the boy is named, someone who savored company, talk, some kind of to-do, something to laugh at.

Years later, still possessed by the story, Andy seeks to get to the bottom of all this, to understand the two men and their lethal connection.

Berry deftly balances Andy's investigation into the town's past with an equally moving realization not only of the sustaining value of memory but of the manner in which they are shaped in enduring ways by what they love . . . a sharp portrait of a town nursing its secrets over decades. --Kirkus Reviews
