The Redemption of Galen Pike

A perfectly formed gem ...Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW From remote Australian settlements to the snows of Siberia, from Colorado to Cumbria, restless teenagers, middle-aged civil servants, and Quaker spinsters traverse expanses of solitude to reveal the secrets of the human heart. Written with raw and rigorous prose, charged throughout by a prickly wit, the stories in The Redemption of Galen Pike remind us how little we know of the lives of others. Carys Davies is currently a 2016-2017 Cullman Fellow at the New York Public Library.
