Narrated by Holter Graham.
In 1956, Dell Parsons' family came to a stop in Great Falls, Montana, the way many military families did after the war. His father, Bev, was a talkative airman from Alabama with an optimistic and easy-scheming nature. Their mother Neeva - shy, artistic - was alienated from their father's small-town world. It was more bad instincts and bad luck that Dell's parents decided to rob the bank. They weren't reckless people. In the days following the arrest, Dell is saved before the authorities think to arrive. Driving across Montana, his life hurtles towards the unknown; a hotel in a deserted town, the violent and enigmatic Arthur Remlinger, and towards Canada itself. But, as Dell discovers, in this new world of secrets and upheaval, he is not the only one whose past lies on the other side of a border.

by an online 'Best of' list, I gave this one a try.
Be prepared to be sucked into the life of Dell Parsons.
On his own way to early in life, he finds his way to a barren part of Canada and learns that he needs to trust his instincts and not much else.
Long, engrossing, and perfect for a road trip.
Just don't go too far north.
