The Used World

BY HAVEN KIMMEL

Brief Description:
"It was mid-December in Jonah, Indiana, a place where Fate can be decided by the weather, and a storm was gathering overhead." Haven Kimmel opens a world where big hearts are frequently broken and sometimes repaired; where the newfangled and the old-fashioned battle it out in daily encounters both large and small; where wondrous things unfold just beneath the surface of everyday life; and where the weather is certainly biblical and might just be prophetic. Astonishing for what it reveals about the human capacity for both grace and mischief, "The Used World" forms a trilogy with Kimmel's two previous novels, "The Solace of Leaving Early" and "Something Rising (Light and Swift)".
