Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
Venue: Jack and Louise Marta's-- 6081
Lakeshore Drive ( Road 9) Eagle River, MI. Telephone: 337-23378
Patricia Van Pelt relays this news about our first author: This October, Graywolf Press will reissue one of Per Petterson's earlier works, To Siberia. Viking Magazine writes, "The story centers around a brother and sister who are forced to come together after their grandfather's suicide. The girl dreams of escaping to Siberia, while the boy becomes increasingly involved in resisting the Nazis. Readers who were struck by Petterson's sharply etched characters and unique prose style will want to clear room on their nightstands for this fresh edition."
