Summary: A riveting, psychologically rich family drama set in the American West, from a writer who has been compared to Cormac McCarthy.
Bandy Dorner, home from Vietnam, awakes with his car mired in a canal, his cabin reduced to ashes, and his pregnant wife preparing to leave town with her lover. Within moments, a cop lies bleeding on the road.
Eighteen years later, Bandy is released from prison. His parents are gone, but on the derelict family ranch, Bandy faces a different reunion. Tracy, his now teenaged son, has come to claim the father he’s never known. Iona, Bandy’s ex-wife, has returned on the heels of her son. All three are damaged, hardened, haunted. But warily, desperately, they move in a slow dance around each other, trying to piece back together a family that never was; trying to discover if they belong together at all.
With unflinching honesty and restrained beauty, Brian Hart explores the possibilities and limitations of his characters as they struggle toward a shared future. Like a traditional Greek tragedy, suffused with the mud, ice, and rock of the raw I daho landscape, Then Came the Evening is tautly plotted and emotionally complex—a stunning debut.

Why I want to read this: A good psychological drama is sometimes good for the soul. A nice change of pace from the everyday reading norm. This was a goodreads giveaway win as well that I am, sadly, behind on reading due to moving.

Why I want to read this: So far the Vampire Diaries has been lots of fun to read. So now, it is time to read a prequel to it all....
Well that sums it up for this weekend. As always, feel free to discuss any of these books with me, or suggest future weekly shows. I wish everyone a week of joyful reads!
