How Much of These Hills is Gold

Opis produktu:

America. In the twilight of the Gold Rush, two siblings cross a landscape with a gun in their hands and the body of their father on their backs . . .

Ba dies in the night, Ma is already gone. Lucy and Sam, twelve and eleven, are suddenly alone and on the run. With their father`s body on their backs, they roam an unforgiving landscape dotted with giant buffalo bones and tiger paw prints, searching for a place to give him a proper burial.

How Much of These Hills is Gold is a sweeping adventure tale, an unforgettable sibling story and a remarkable novel about a family bound and divided by its memories.

`The 19th-century American West is the setting for C Pam Zhang`s impressive debut. Rickety wagons, gambling dens, dusty towns and dodgy outlaws stalk its pages... How Much of These Hills is Gold breaks the mould [as a] revisionist immigrant fable of the making of the West... a daring and haunting epic`
