Sweet Hereafter

“Rich in imagery and the detail of small-town life and haunting in its portrayal of ordinary men and women struggling to understand loss. Under Mr. Banks’s restrained craftsmanship, what begins as the story of senseless tragedy is transformed into an aspiring testament to hope and human resilience.” — Atlanta Constitution

In The Sweet Hereafter, Russell Banks tells a story that begins with a school bus accident. Using four different narrators, Banks creates a small-town morality play that addresses one of life’s most agonizing questions: when the worst thing happens, who do you blame?

Here is a stunning novel of “compelling moral suspense” (Los Angeles Times Book Review) from one of America’s greatest storytellers.
