Description
To date, Karl Marlantes is best known for his novel Matterhorn, which is a classic in Vietnam War
literature. In the masterful Deep River, he is writing about a different place and time—but
admirers of Matterhorn will recognize Marlantesâ€s gift for telling a sweeping, consuming epic
through the day-to-day experiences of his characters. Escaping famine and Russian oppression,
three Finnish siblings head for the United States in the early 20th century. They each find their way
to the Pacific Northwest, a place of astounding natural resources, and there they begin to knit
themselves into the mostly-Scandinavian community built up around those resources. There is
Ilmari, who becomes a farmer and a blacksmith, and who dreams of starting a church. There is
Matti, who becomes a logger. And there is Aino, the sister who may possess the most grit and
determination of any of them, and who emerges as a union organizer in a place where work often
meant low pay and the constant threat of death or dismemberment. Deep River is a place where
you hear the trees thundering to the ground and you can see the 150 pound salmon working their
way upstream. It is also a finely-hewn portrait of peopleâ€s lives in an era when this country was
figuring out what it stood for. You could call Deep River the great Pacific Northwest novel, but
itâ€s even more than that. --Chris Schluep, Amazon Book Review Read more Praise for Deep
River:“Marlantes conveys the elements, arcana and dangerous romance of logging superbly.
His descriptions of logging itself―the ingenious mechanics of taking down trees and the skill of
experienced loggers―are wonderfully detailed, dramatic and exhilarating…Mighty physical,
social and economic forces operate the plot of this novel, buffeting its characters, raising them up,
flinging them down, twisting their fates together. Deep River is a big American novel.― ―Wall
Street Journal“Deep River is an engrossing and commanding historical epic about one
immigrant familyâ€s shifting fortunes…a feat of lavish storytelling.― ―Washington Post
“Marlantes poignantly depicts the intimacies of personal dramas that echo the twentieth
centuryâ€s unprecedented political storms and yet in surprising ways reprise Finlandâ€s
oldest mythologies…An unforgettable novel.―― Booklist, (starred review) “As a portrait
of a complicated American era, and one familyâ€s mighty struggle against it, the novel is both
fascinating and fierce. And well worth the hours it asks of its reader.― ―San Francisco
Chronicle“Deep River seems a work born from Willa Cather by way of Upton Sinclair. But this
new book is its own animal, and itâ€s something of a masterpiece…In Deep River, [Aino] takes

her place beside Antonia Shimerda as one of the great heroines of literature.― ―BookPage
