Preview The Night Remembers
Kathleen Eagle enters compelling new territory in this urban-set contemporary which focuses on three people--Angela Prescott, a woman starting completely over after escaping a bad relationship; Tommy T, a street-smart 10-year-old who needs someone to believe in; and Jesse Brown Wolf, a man tormented by grief and guilt who's leading a double life. Jesse is an especially fascinating figure: a simple repairman by day who becomes a superhero at night, taking guns away from street kids ... a phantom lover who whispers words of heart's ease into Angela's ear ... a man whose underground hideaway protects him from a world that's become too painful to face. Native American characters and folklore enrich this story of redemption, which takes readers through some dark terrain, but leaves them in a place of light. A bold, thought-provoking novel that asks some tough questions, from an award-winning writer. Note the lovely Swinburne poem.
From Library JournalJesse Brown Wolf, a mysterious handyman, lives underground to escape his disabling migraines and his equally disturbing past. Angela Prescott has fled her classroom and her home to hide from her abusive, powerful ex-lover. Drawn together by Tommy T, a precocious, homeless 12-year-old, Jesse and Angela find unexpected depths of heroism and love within themselves as they form an unlikely alliance to take a stand against crime on the mean streets of Minneapolis. Traditional Native American folklore and imagery counterbalance the harsh descriptions of survival in the inner city. Eagle, whose Sunrise Song (Avon, 1996) is a nominee for the this year's Janet Dailey Award, lives in the suburbs of Minneapolis.
