Heart Songs by E. Annie Proulx
Beyond the drugstore and the diner of a rural town is another world - a wilderness - waiting to be explored. Deer can be stalked, pools of trout fished, grouse shot, and traplines laid for fur.
Whether they are yuppies from town who think country life is improving or natives who know too well that it isn't, the women and men who inhabit these stories are hunting for something better. Though getting by at all is hard enough . . .
These people live, love and lose. They fall apart and pick up the pieces. They dream useless dreams - but go on dreaming whatever the disappointments.
In these tough, tender, irresistibly humorous 11 stories Proulx shows herself to be equally at home in the harsh, beautiful outdoors as in the infinitely subtle territory of the heart.
