Review

"[C]aptures the complexities of a contemporary rural militia with eccentricity and raconteurish pluck..."

"Like a ferocious bulletin from an alternate universe--tumbling, pell-mell, brilliant and strange--comes this explosive and discomfiting fifth novel by Carolyn Chute....This is a beautiful novel, a polemical novel, a messy novel. It’s a love song to a part of America that doesn’t have much of a voice, and is armed."

Annotation

Mickey Gammon, a 15-year-old high school dropout, finds himself living with a polygamous cult in rural Maine run by a man known as "The Prophet." Maligned by the outside world, the cult advocates many idealistic notions, such as environmental technologies and self-sustainable farming, making it difficult for Mickey to decide how he feels about his strange new surrogate family. Joining him in his new life is the precocious six-year-old Jane, who is secretly trying to sabotage the community in the delusional belief that it will reunite her with her imprisoned junkie mother. Carolyn Chute uses a variety of narrators to create a willfully weird and kaleidoscopic novel, and creates deep sympathy for the desires of her unorthodox characters.
