Features of The Wake Of Forgiveness
Reminiscent of Kent Haruf and Cormac McCarthy, Bruce Macharts debut novel is a dark family saga set in the American Southwest.On a moonless Texas night in 1895, an ambitious young landowner suffers the loss of the only woman hes ever been fond of when his wife dies during childbirth with the couples fourth son, Karel. The boy is forever haunted by thoughts of the mother he never knew, by the bloodshot blame in his fathers eyes, and permanently marked by the yoke he and his brothers are forced to wear to plow the family fields. From an early age, Karel proves so talented on horseback that his father enlists him to ride in acreage-staked horseraces against his neighbors. In the winter of 1910, Karel rides in the ultimate high-stakes race against a powerful Spanish patriarch and his alluring daughters: hanging in the balance are his fathers fortune, his brothers' futures, and his own fate.
