A review by lambsears
Idaho by Emily Ruskovich
5.0
A mesmerising read, written in language that is extraordinary in it's richness and ability to evoke the landscape - which is itself so detailed as to be almost another character in the book. Idaho is beautiful, and sad, and thoughtful and will probably stay with me for quite a while.
Not written in a linear fashion, nor recommended for those who like their i's dotted and their t's crossed, the novel examines memory, love, families, loss and grief in a slightly startling way, through an event of a summer's afternoon on a remote mountain.
Highly recommended.
