Book excerpt: The acclaimed author’s “mesmerizing tale” of a young man and woman who struggle to survive in the remote, disputed territory of 19th-century New Hampshire (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). With an oxcart full of rum, a man known as Blood travels through the wild country of New England toward an ungoverned territory called the Indian Stream—a land where the luckless or outlawed can make a fresh start. Blood is a man of contradictions, of learning and wisdom, but also a man with a secret past that has scorched his soul. Intending to establish himself as a prosperous trader, he brings with him Sally, a sixteen-year-old girl he won from her mother in a game of cards. Blood and Sally’s arrival in the Indian Stream triggers an escalating series of clashes that soon destroy the master/servant bond between them, offering both a second chance with life. But as the conflicts within the community attract the attention of outside authorities, Blood becomes a target for those in need of a scapegoat, forcing him to confront dreaded apparitions from his past, while Sally is offered a final escape. “In intensely charged prose very reminiscent of Faulkner’s,” Lost Nation delves beneath the bright, promising veneer of early-nineteenth-century New England to reveal a startling, violent parable of individualism and nationhood (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “A rousing tale that will surely please the readers of his first, bestselling novel, In the Fall.” —Publishers Weekly “Jeffrey Lent has quietly created some of the finest novels of our new century.” —Ron Rash “Sentence by sentence rural New England comes alive, and Lent’s language draws you in like a clear stream in summer.” —Tim Gautreaux
