Omschrijving
Undercurrents, the
debut novel from fourth-generation Montanan, Joan Maki, steps through forest
doorways and crosses rivers into twilight's thresholds to dissect the emotional
and psychological aftermath of Kit in the wake of the
mysterious disappearance of Patrick, a childhood friend who vanished so
suddenly it was as if he fell into the Earth. Decades after this incident, Kit
escapes her rural Montana upbringing for a new life in the city, but her disjointed
memories and the questions she has had to carry bind her to her past. Was
Patrick claimed by natural forces, falling into the river or a ravine? Was his
estranged father involved? Or, as old Marg believes, was the boy claimed by the
people of the forest? Will Kit be able to find closure as she raises her own
child and is inevitably drawn back toward the woods of home? Imbued with elements of Finnish folklore, Undercurrents charts
the liminal destruction of society and self, where wild and rural places are
encroached upon by more contemporary forces. Like a story written on a warped mirror, Undercurrents presents
a calm surface slightly askew, and definitely dangerous, where mind, lore,
religion, and reality collide in uncanny reflections.
