The sentimentalists

Johanna Skibsrud

earliest edition we have, 2010 W. Heinemann, 2011 216 pages

Johanna Skibsrud's debut novel connects the flooding of an Ontario town, the Vietnam War, a trailer in North Dakota, and an unfinished boat in Maine. Parsing family history, worn childhood memories, and the palimpsest of old misunderstandings, Skibsrud's narrator maps her father's past.
