Book Review: No longer a regional author.
Summary: 5 Stars
All of Howard Frank Mosher's books are good, but this one is a truly excellent read. Like the man himself, his characters are crafted like a sharp hard cider distilled from the backwoods of Vermont. Usually several years in the making, his books do take awhile to ferment, but when they reach peak potency -- finish the whole jug in one long Northeast Kingdom night. It will keep you warm and, thankfully, the only hangover is the need to quickly share your copy with your spouse or best friend so you can talk about it. Vermont hasn't had an ambassador this genuine since Robert Frost. And for those who want to understand the soul of this land of cruel June frosts, Mosher's still around to bare his.
Summary of Northern Borders: A Novel
Northern Borders is Mosher?s nostalgic novel of life in northern Vermont?s Kingdom County, as told by a man remembering his boyhood. In 1948 six-year-old Austen Kittredge III leaves his widowed father to live with his paternal grandparents on their farm in the township of Lost Nation. Escapades at the county fair, doings at the annual family reunion and Shakespeare performance, and conflicts at the one-room schoolhouse are all recounted lovingly in this enchanting coming-of-age story filled with luminous memories and the deepest of childhood secrets, as a boy is molded into a man.
