Synopsis
In 1954, a cook in a sawmill town is still reeling from the death of his young wife when his 12-year-old son makes a horrible mistake, incurring the inextinguishable wrath of a local constable. Father and son must go on the run, pursued over miles and years by the shadow of vengeance. Taking place over 50 years, LAST NIGHT IN TWISTED RIVER is a novel of great historical and emotional depth, a story of love, loss, and fatherhood. Beloved bestselling author John Irving (THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES) returns to many of his familiar themes, but his sense of narrative and his wonderful prose render them fresh and gripping.

Length:528 pages

Publisher's Note
In a story spanning five decades, a twelve-year-old boy in New Hampshire mistakes the constable's girlfriend for a bear, leading to an unfortunate accident that forces the boy and his father to become fugitives pursued by the constable, with their only help coming from a fiercely libertarian logger, in a novel by a National Book Award-winning author.

Industry reviews
"Irving's twelfth novel is full to bursting with story, character, and emotion...At once a moving portrait of a father-and-son relationship, a homage to a quintessentially American fortitude forged by treacherous work and scant wages, and a tribute to the bonds of friendship, it offers multiple, beautifully written set pieces on grief, love, food, and family." (starred review)

Signed first edition first printing of Last Night At Twisted River by John Irving. There are a limited number of signed copies of this edition as Mr. Irving only signs books that have been pre-purchased (at last nights signing there were 78). How many of these will be available for resale is unknown. My husband is a book collector and purchased two, one to keep, one to sell. The dust jacket is protected with a milenex archival cover. The book will be carefully wrapped and sent in a sturdy box. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you - K

A: I am sorry, I am not able to send a scan. It is signed on the title page, signature only, about the size of the printed 'John Irving' and very near it. As far as being tired or sloppy, I can't say. It looks... Continue reading
