This major revision of Richard E. W.

Transpose Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure to New Brunswick’s rugged Miramichi River. Surround Job with loose fists, malicious boots, and cold, gallon wine. Invite the Macbeths over for drinks.

Set in an isolated, wind-besieged house with bullet holes in the tarpaper walls, Richards’s novel wonders-- pointedly, beautifully--whether goodness is merely a luxury. At the age of 12, having borne more suffering in his child’s body than any adult s
