This book is interested in what can’t be repaired and every kind of grace we find in the face of that futility. Its language is an enchantment, its vision brutal and sublime. Idaho begins with a rusted truck and ends up places you couldn’t imagine. ONE FAMILY, ONE DAY, ONE ACT OF INEXPLICABLE VIOLENCE- AND A LIFETIME SPENT TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. In a story written in exquisite prose and told from multiple perspectives-including Ann, Wade, and Wade’s first wife Jenny, now serving a life sentence in prison-we gradually learn of the mysterious and shocking act that fractured Wade and Jenny's lives, of the love and compassion that brought Ann and Wade together, and of the memories that reverberate through the lives of every character in Idaho.
With her husband’s memory fading, Ann attempts to piece together the truth of what happened to Wade's first wife and to their daughters. Ann and Wade have carved out a life for themselves from a rugged landscape in northern Idaho, where they are bound together by more than love.
