The scion of a family of wealthy timber barons, David Burkett has grown up with a father who is a malevolent force, and a mother made vague and numb by alcohol and pills. He and his sister Cynthia, a firecracker who scandalizes the family at fourteen by taking up with the son of their Finnish-Native American gardener, are mostly left to make their own way. As David comes to adulthood, he realizes he must come to terms with his forefathers' rapacious destruction of the woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, as well as with the working people who made their wealth possible. In the story of the Burketts, Jim Harrison has given us a family tragedy of betrayal and amends, joy and grief, and justice for the worst of our sins. True North is a bravura performance from one of our finest writers, accomplished with deep humanity, humor, and redemptive soul. 3175748 5 2004 True North: A Novel (Harrison, Jim) total:278|5:62|4:120|3:66|2:18|1:12| 278 1036 392 46 107419 0802117732 9780802117731 248 44 3.73 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171571661m/107419.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/107419.True_North_A_Novel 0 0 false Thu Feb 05 09:25:29 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 09:25:29 -0800 2009 "True North," says the Boston Globe, "has its moments," which sums up general reaction to this novel.
