Gary Geist, a terrified young man set to inherit two farms, is desperate to marry Kismet Poe, an impulsive, lapsed goth who cant read her own future but will settle for fulfilling his. Her best friend, Hugo, a gentle, red-haired, homeschooled giant, also loves Kismet and is determined to steal her away and build a life together. Kismets mother, Crystal, drives a truck for Garys family, and on her nightly runs, tunes in to the darkness of late-night radio, experiences visions of guardian angels, and worries about whats to come, for her daughter and herself.The Mighty Red is Louise Erdrich at her consummate best. A novel of tender humor, disquietude, yearning, community, and family, it is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets; men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. Human time, deep time, Red River time, and geological time are explored alongside the impact of crises in our own time-climate change, the depletion of natural resources, the economic meltdown of 2008. It is a story about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51529990111520,"sku":"NEW0063277077","price":13.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81vKuxV4ZTL.jpg?v=1777265239","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-mighty-red-a-read-with-jenna-pick-0063277077","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
