: :
: Set in the fictional town of Port Bonita, on Washington State's rugged :
: Pacific coast, West of Here is propelled by a story that both re-creates :
: and celebrates the American experience--it is storytelling on the grandest :
: scale. With one segment of the narrative focused on the town's founders :
: circa 1890 and another showing the lives of their descendants in 2006, the :
: novel develops as a kind of conversation between two epochs, one rushing :
: blindly toward the future and the other struggling to undo the damage of :
: the past. :
: :
: An exposition on the effects of time, on how something said or done in one :
: generation keeps echoing through all the years that follow, and how :
: mistakes keep happening and people keep on trying to be strong and brave :
: and, most important, just and right, West of Here harks back to the work of:
: such masters of Americana as Bret Harte, Edna Ferber, and Larry McMurtry, :
: writers whose fiction turned history into myth and myth into a nation's :
: shared experience. It is a bold novel by a writer destined to become a :
: major force in American literature. :
