The Center of Everything

A Novel

De: Jamie Harrison

Narrado por: Jane Oppenheimer

In this compelling family drama set against the dangerous beauty of the Yellowstone, Polly is still trying to get her life back on track after a recent accident, not always trusting reality.

For Polly, the town of Livingston, Montana, is a land charmed by natural beauty and a close network of family extending back generations. But a recent head injury has scattered her perception of the present, surfacing events from 30 years ago and half a country away. As Polly’s relatives arrive for a family reunion during the Fourth of July holiday, a beloved friend goes missing on the Yellowstone River, dredging up difficult memories for a family well acquainted with tragedy.

A generational saga from the award-winning author of The Widow Nash, The Center of Everything offers a stunning and heartfelt examination of the deep bonds of family and how the ones we love - and the secrets we keep - echo throughout our lives.

Disappointing.

Disappointing. Very heavy with no relief. Not what I expected. Wish the preview had been long enough to tell what the story was really like. I’d return it if I could.

Too hard to follow

I like Jamie Harrison and find it hard to believe she wrote this. I feel lost in a sea of characters who mill abut aimlessly. I tried but am giving up on this one.
