Sorrow Road by Julia Keller
In 1944, three young men from a small town in West Virginia are among the American forces participating in D-Day, changing the fortunes of the war with one bold stroke. How is that moment aboard a Navy ship as it barrels toward the Normandy shore related to the death of an old man in an Appalachian nursing home seventy-two years later?
In Sorrow Road, the mystery from Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Julia Keller, two stories?one set in the turbulent era of World War I and one in the present day?are woven together to create a piercingly poignant tale of memory and family, of love and murder.
Bell Elkins, prosecuting attorney in Acker s Gap, West Virginia, is asked by an old acquaintance to look into the death of her beloved father in an Alzheimer s care facility. Did he die of natural causes?or was something more sinister to blame? And that s not the only issue with which Bell is grappling: Her daughter Carla has moved back home. But something s not right. Carla is desperately hiding a secret.
Once again, past and present, good and evil, and revenge and forgiveness clash in a riveting story set in the shattered landscape of Acker s Gap, where the skies can seem dark even at high noon, and the mountains lean close to hear the whispered lament of the people trapped in their shadow.
