Mink River by Brian Doyle

3.0

There is much to like in this tale of a small coastal Oregon town. Many wonderful characters, a strong sense of place including the town and the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest, a talking crow, interesting stories of Native Americans and Ireland, and a very lyrical style of prose. It is not an easy book to read, due to a multitude of characters to keep straight and the unusual style of writing. The reward is an immersion into a place you will remember as if it were a real place. A quintessential Pacific Northwest tale.
