News of the World: A Novel
by Paulette Jiles
Paulette Jiles's News of the World is a spare, tender western about an old man and a stolen child: a former soldier who reads newspapers aloud for a living agrees to return a girl raised by the Kiowa to relatives she no longer remembers, and the road between them becomes its own kind of family.
