Peace Like A River, Leif Enger

Speaking of which (a prose poem), through my blog, I’ve learned there is a “sleeper” best-seller out there, Peace Like a River, by Leif Enger. It is my understanding it is set in North Dakota, the climax coming in the Badlands. Apparently the writing is superb – again – some reviewers have called it “lyrical” which I assume is poetry in prose format. I will look for it at Half-Price Bookstores. I read the first page of the book online at Barnes and Noble.com, and of all coincidences, the narrator, the protagonist, I suppose, was born the same year I was, 1951!
