  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In one hand, Jesse Breedlove holds a bottle of Cuervo Gold&#8212;or what&#8217;s left of it&#8212;in the other, the shovel with which he has just unearthed the bones of a small girl buried in the cellar of a Catholic church in Omaha, Nebraska. So begins Breedlove&#8217;s odyssey across the literal and mythical landscapes of America, bearing the finely articulated body he has uncovered, the bones that would neither rest nor, in their restless eloquence, let him remain silent. Through the heart of the United States this mover of bones encounters people who live on the margins, geographically and emotionally, and who find that his presence and his plight summon their voices. Rumors surface and reports multiply as the lonely, the addicted, the isolated, the damned, the pure of heart, and the holy sane speak. From the dark and distant edges of society, they bear witness&#8212;sometimes directly, sometimes obliquely&#8212;to what the mover of bones and his burden mean. <br/><br/>Defiler, redeemer, sinner, or saint&#8212;Breedlove is the stuff myths are made of, and <em>The Mover of Bones</em>, the first of a planned trilogy of novels by the remarkably gifted Robert Vivian, evokes a collective dream of the heartland.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In one hand, Jesse Breedlove holds a bottle of Cuervo Gold&#8212;or what&#8217;s left of it&#8212;in the other, the shovel with which he has just unearthed the bones of a small girl buried in the cellar of a Catholic church in Omaha, Nebraska. So begins Breedlove&#8217;s odyssey across the literal and mythical landscapes of America, bearing the finely articulated body he has uncovered, the bones that would neither rest nor, in their restless eloquence, let him remain silent. Through the heart of the United States this mover of bones encounters people who live on the margins, geographically and emotionally, and who find that his presence and his plight summon their voices. Rumors surface and reports multiply as the lonely, the addicted, the isolated, the damned, the pure of heart, and the holy sane speak. From the dark and distant edges of society, they bear witness&#8212;sometimes directly, sometimes obliquely&#8212;to what the mover of bones and his burden mean. <br/><br/>Defiler, redeemer, sinner, or saint&#8212;Breedlove is the stuff myths are made of, and <em>The Mover of Bones</em>, the first of a planned trilogy of novels by the remarkably gifted Robert Vivian, evokes a collective dream of the heartland.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[It took me two tries to start this novel, of which Jesse Breedlove is the least interesting part.  What really captured me is the lyricism of the language and the sympathy with which even the most disturbing characters are rendered.  Jesse may offer redemption, but these are people are who have to m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1607900">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In one hand, Jesse Breedlove holds a bottle of Cuervo Gold&#8212;or what&#8217;s left of it&#8212;in the other, the shovel with which he has just unearthed the bones of a small girl buried in the cellar of a Catholic church in Omaha, Nebraska. So begins Breedlove&#8217;s odyssey across the literal and mythical landscapes of America, bearing the finely articulated body he has uncovered, the bones that would neither rest nor, in their restless eloquence, let him remain silent. Through the heart of the United States this mover of bones encounters people who live on the margins, geographically and emotionally, and who find that his presence and his plight summon their voices. Rumors surface and reports multiply as the lonely, the addicted, the isolated, the damned, the pure of heart, and the holy sane speak. From the dark and distant edges of society, they bear witness&#8212;sometimes directly, sometimes obliquely&#8212;to what the mover of bones and his burden mean. <br/><br/>Defiler, redeemer, sinner, or saint&#8212;Breedlove is the stuff myths are made of, and <em>The Mover of Bones</em>, the first of a planned trilogy of novels by the remarkably gifted Robert Vivian, evokes a collective dream of the heartland.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
