Sinopsis

In "The Land of Frozen Suns," Bertrand W. Sinclair crafts a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of the early 20th century Alaskan frontier. The novel vividly portrays the interplay between the harsh, unforgiving landscape and the resilient spirit of its inhabitants, employing a literary style that blends rich, evocative descriptions with a deep psychological exploration of characters facing moral dilemmas. Sinclair'Äôs thematic exploration of survival and human connection amidst isolation resonates powerfully, reflecting the broader cultural tensions of the era, particularly concerning the clash between civilization and wilderness. Bertrand W. Sinclair, a notable figure in American literature, drew upon his own experiences as a prospector and adventurer in the Alaskan territory to inform the narrative. His familiarity with the region'Äôs rugged beauty and inherent dangers imbues the text with an authentic sense of place and atmosphere. Sinclair's insights into the human condition, formed through his encounters and observations of frontier life, lend depth to his portrayal of both individual and collective struggles. This novel is a must-read for enthusiasts of early American literature and those captivated by tales of exploration and human endurance. Sinclair'Äôs masterful storytelling invites readers into a world where the beauty of the natural landscape contrasts sharply with the internal and external conflicts faced by those daring enough to call it home, making it a poignant reflection on resilience.

    Perfect for fans of Margot Livesey and William Maxwell’s So Long, See You Tomorrow 
    Excitement grows all day Friday in the quiet Wyoming cattle town of Juniper. As cheerleaders and football players ready themselves for the biggest game of 1959, the Homecoming Parade winds its way down Main Street. Everyone claps with delight when they spot Homecoming Queen BJ Bonniface in her pink strapless formal sitting high on the back of a big Buick convertible. She’s the popular girlfriend of star quarterback Rob Hitchcock and the daughter of a wealthy and influential local rancher. The longtime sweethearts continue to be the talk of the town as the home team wins the big game on Saturday. But by Monday morning, Juniper is shaken to its core when everyone learns their beloved Homecoming Queen is dead. 
    “Act as if nothing has changed,” the high school’s Dean of Women advises the devastated student body. Some doubt BJ died from a bee sting, as reported. Things don’t add up. Rob and BJ’s best friend Nella Fortune have private and deeply personal reasons to question the official story, but the community’s silence is deafening. Both will sleepwalk their way through the rest of senior year, consumed by what they know and cannot tell. How long can such a crushing secret be kept? 
    Though A Horse Brought Us Here, is a work of fiction—and the characters, places, and events depicted are products of the author’s imagination—the core event in this novel is based on a real-life occurrence. Author Dershie McDevitt invites readers to travel back in time to a seemingly idyllic American small town where life looks simple at the surface but is often much more disturbing behind closed doors. Masterfully evoking a nostalgic tapestry of a bygone era, McDevitt reminds us that though some of life’s mysteries are kept buried, they should never be forgotten.
