 From New York Times best-selling author William Kent Kruger comes his most popular novel yet, This Tender Land. Kruger writes the popular series of Cork O’Connor novels, featuring a former sheriff who is part Irish, and part Native American. In the stand-alone 2019 novel This Tender Land, Kruger continues his exploration of Native American themes and history.The setting is 1932 Minnesota, where the Lincoln School is a pitiless place where hundreds of Native American children, forcibly separated from their parents, are sent to be “educated.” Over the course of one unforgettable summer, four orphans escape the school in a canoe, head for the Mississippi, the magnificent American landscape, and adventures beyond. This selection is especially timely with Pope Francis’s full apology earlier this year to Canadian Indigenous people’s for the Catholic Church’s role in establishing similar “residential” schools throughout Canada.From New York Times best-selling author William Kent Kruger comes his most popular novel yet, This Tender Land.
