The Living by Annie Dillard

"Remarkable. . . . A deftly woven narrative saturated with violence, hardship, and triumph. Readers will be richly rewarded, for by the end of this deeply felt novel it is hard to let the frontier town and its people go."  -- San Francisco Chronicle

This New York Times bestselling novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard is a mesmerizing evocation of pioneer life navigated by European settlers and Lummi natives in the Pacific Northwest during the last decades of the 19th century.

The Living is a tale full of gold minors, friendly railroad speculators, doe-eyed sweethearts, shifty card players, and 19th century adventures that will stay with you long after you close the book.

Annie Dillard is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, as well as a number of other nonfiction books such as An American Childhood and For the Time Being. The Living and The Maytrees are two of her most recent works.
