River, Sing Out

A Novel

De: James Wade

Narrado por: Roger Clark

Attempting to escape his abusive father and generations of cyclical poverty, young Jonah Hargrove joins the mysterious River - a teenage girl carrying thousands of dollars in stolen meth - and embarks on a Southern Gothic odyssey through the East Texas river bottoms.

They are pursued by local drug kingpin, John Curtis, and his murderous enforcer, Dakota Cade, with whom River was romantically involved. But Cade and Curtis have their own enemies, as their relationship with the cartel controlling their meth supply begins to sour.

Keeping tabs on everyone is The Thin Man, a silent assassin who values consequence over mercy.

Each person is keeping secrets from the others - deadly secrets that will be exposed in savage fashion as their final paths collide, and all are forced to come to terms with their choices, their circumstances, and their own definition of God.

With a colorful cast of supporting characters and an unflinching violence juxtaposed against lyrical prose, River, Sing Out dives deep into a sinister and sanguinary world, where oppressive poverty is pitted against the need to believe in something greater than the self.

Really good book!!

I love the narrator of this audiobook! His voice fits so well with the storyline and characters! This was a very good book, sad but good! This is my second book by James Wade. His stories are interesting and well written. The writing is descriptive and detailed! I would recommend this book!

Fantastic

Very Cormack McCarthy I’m a way it doesn’t pull any punches yet retains philosophical, almost meditative side to it that is often lost in modern day works of literature. A true treasure!

Not what I was looking for but still pleasantly surprised.

A compelling story to be sure. Not an action or drama exactly as it is heavily intoned with poetic philosophy but still I was not disappointed at the end.

Would make an excellent movie!

Heartbreaking and eye opening, it is a portrait of the world we live in today. A fantastic read!
