Not without resistance and I didn’t detect any of that here. Most second wives don’t easily repeat the patterns of the first marriage. It’s a simple, yet very carefully crafted paragraph. That was the way it was when Wade was married to Jenny, and that’s the way it is now that he is married to Ann. It was parked just up the hill in front of the woodshed, where it collected rain in the deep dents on the hood and mosquito larvae in the rainwater. They never drove the truck, except once or twice a year to get firewood. The very first paragraph reeled me in, setting the scene, making me want to know more: So when I saw Idaho on the display stand at my library, passing it by, despite the armful of other reading I had already selected, was as impossible as saying no to chocolate. I’ve always wondered what life might be like there, in that place just out of view. Idaho-that state on the western border of Montana which, during my year as an exchange student in the Midwest US and in subsequent return visits, has been that bit too far for me to visit. There was that, and then there is the setting. Not a common occurrence on radio reviews, I’ve noticed. I first heard about this book, Idaho, on Radio New Zealand, not long after it was published in 2017.
