A review by arielamandah
Mink River by Brian Doyle

4.0

I am completely taken with Brian Doyle’s writing right now. Very similar to Martin Marten in structure, this book churned with darker, deeper, more challenging things. Ultimately it gets to the goodness of people, the way that community is woven out of disparate threads, and the way that life throws wrenches into our plans, but how we adjust, realign, and still find joy and ways to love one another. Doyle’s writing is such a generous, comforting spot in a difficult world. Somehow his characters make me believe that despite it all, with a little grace and resilience we’ll all be OK.
