Summary

Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In one hand, Jesse Breedlove holds a bottle of Cuervo Goldâor whatâs left of itâin the other, the shovel with which he has just unearthed the bones of a small girl buried in the cellar of a Catholic church in Omaha, Nebraska. So begins Breedloveâs odyssey across the literal and mythical landscapes of America, bearing the finely articulated body he has uncovered, the bones that would neither rest nor, in their restless eloquence, let him remain silent. Through the heart of the United States this mover of bones encounters people who live on the margins, geographically and emotionally, and who find that his presence and his plight summon their voices. Rumors surface and reports multiply as the lonely, the addicted, the isolated, the damned, the pure of heart, and the holy sane speak. From the dark and distant edges of society, they bear witnessâsometimes directly, sometimes obliquelyâto what the mover of bones and his burden mean.
Â
Defiler, redeemer, sinner, or saintâBreedlove is the stuff myths are made of, and The Mover of Bones, the first of the Tall Grass Trilogy of novels by the remarkably gifted Robert Vivian, evokes a collective dream of the heartland.
