--Daphne Durham. Significant Seven, April 2008: A gritty western couched in the easy storytelling style of a folk ballad (think 3:10 to Yuma as sung by the Kingston Trio), Leif Enger's highly anticipated second novel (his first was Peace Like a River) tells the story of outlaw Glendon Hale's quest to right his past, as seen through the eyes of his unlikely companion Monte Becket. At turns merry and wistful, romantic and tragic, So Brave, Young, and Handsome is as absorbing as a campfire tale, full of winking outlaws and relentless villains--the sort of story to keep you on the edge of your seat with hope in your heart. So Brave, Young, and Handsome begins with Becket, a struggling noveli
As they flee the relentless ex-Pinkerton who’s been hunting Glendon for years, Monte falls ever further from his family and the law, to be tempered by a fiery adventure from which he may never get home.With its smooth mix of romanticism and gritty reality, So Brave, Young, and Handsome examines one ordinary man’s determination as he risks everything in order to understand what it’s all worth, and follows an unlikely dream in the hope it will lead him back home.. Plagued by guilt over abandoning his wife two decades ago, Glendon aims to go back West on a quest for absolution. His only success long behind him, Monte lives simply with his wife and son until he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale. As the modern age marches swiftly forward, Monte agrees to travel into Glendon’s past, leaving behind his own family for a journey that will test the depth of his loyalties and morals, and the strength of his resolve. Now in paperback, the new novel by Leif Enger, author of the million-copy best seller, Peace Like a River, is a lively, big-hearted redemption tale; an unforgettable, picaresque Western yarn.In 1915 Minnesota, writer Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose
"Good luck, Mr. Enger" according to Christian J. Ingebretsen. I imagine that Leif Enger must feel a little like Mark Twain did many years ago. Just putting him in the company of Mr. Twain is high praise enough, and Enger deserves it. His debut novel, "Peace Like a River" is the great American novel that so many set out to write and very few acheive. After reading "Peace", I thought to myself, "I hope he'll be able to write another as good", but I was not at all optimistic. Much like Twain's "Huckleberry Finn", after you've written the best, how can you compete with yourself?It's not that "So Brave, Young, and Handsome" is a bad nove. "A Story About Storytelling" according to Glynn Young. It's inevitable that "So Brave, Young and Handsome" will be compared to Leif Enger's first novel, "Peace Like a River." And that first book, published in 2000, is an incredible story that's received well deserved acclaim.Yet as much as I liked "Peace Like a River," I liked "So Brave, Young and Handsome" more. In fact, the second novel helped me understand the first novel better - an outcome I wasn't expecting.It's Minnesota, 1915. Monte Beckett is a writer with a highly successful first novel, a shoot-em-up western, who finds he can't write a second novel. Nothing works. . Julie K. said A GREAT novel for both genders!. This book was captivating from the first page! Leif Enger is on of the BEST writers I've ever come across! Real-life, wholesome, yet quite a depth to this story. This author has a VERY creative mind!
