Heartwood by Amity Gaige will likely end up as one of my top reads of the year.
It’s *sort of* about the search for a young nurse who has disappeared while hiking the Appalachian Trail, but don’t go into this one thinking it’s a thriller or a mystery. It’s really a meditation.

When I read Elizabeth Strout, I understand more about the world. Can you imagine a better legacy?
(If you’re new to Strout, don’t start with her latest Tell Me Everything. It’s too deep into her universe. Start with Olive Kitteridge or My Name Is Lucy Barton.)
