A Captivating Saga of Love and Loss
"Indiana, Indiana" is a mesmerizing and poignant saga of love and loss, firmly grounded in the Midwestern landscape. Written by National Book Award finalist Laird Hunt, this novel takes readers on a journey through the lives of Noah Summers and Opal, a couple whose love story spans decades.
On a dark and lovely winter night, Noah Summers sits before a roaring fire, drifting between sleep and recollection, trying to make sense of a lifetime of psychic visions and his family's tumultuous history on an Indiana farmstead. Decades have passed since Noah first fell in love with Opal, a brilliant but unstable young woman whose penchant for flames separated the couple after just forty-two idyllic days of married life. Despite the challenges they each faced, their love never wavered in the long years that followed, sustained by letters, memories, and the bonds of family.
"Indiana, Indiana" establishes the world that Laird Hunt returned to in his National Book Award finalist novel "Zorrie." It introduces the character of Zorrie Underwood for the first time, written in a masterful elegiac style reminiscent of William Faulkner and Marilynne Robinson. "Indiana, Indiana" is a beautiful and surreal story that illuminates the heart of rural America.
Through the alternating perspectives of Noah and Opal, the novel delves into the complexities of their relationship, exploring the themes of love, loss, resilience, and the enduring power of memory. Hunt's writing is exquisite, with vivid descriptions of the Midwestern landscape and the emotional depth of his characters.
"Indiana, Indiana" is a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a story that will touch readers deeply, reminding them of the beauty and complexity of human relationships and the enduring strength of love in the face of adversity.
In conclusion, "Indiana, Indiana" is a must-read for anyone who appreciates fine literature and is interested in exploring the depths of human emotion. Laird Hunt's masterful storytelling and vivid portrayal of the Midwestern landscape make this novel a truly captivating and unforgettable experience.
