Official synopsis Publisher
With Blue Spruce, David Long emerges as one of America’s most searching and inventive fiction writers. Most of these twelve stories are set in northwest Montana, near the Canadian border – a beautiful and desolate landscape of glacier-carved mountains and tall sweeps of prairie grass, rustic cabins, and newly built tract homes. Here Long explores the mysteries of life’s beginnings, endings, and continuities; the unexpressed or extinguished passions that can crimp and close hearts; and the unexpected longings and quiet pleasures that guide his characters through days and years that seem to slip away.
