LAIRD HUNT READING & SIGNING

Neverhome, the entrancing story of a woman who enlists to fight in The Civil War instead of her

weaker husband, is Laird Hunt’s sixth novel. Robert Olen Butler (A Good Scent from a Strange

Mountain) says, “The Civil War has given us so many great literary works that I couldn’t have

imagined a new fictional approach that was both stunningly original and yet utterly natural,

even inevitable. But this is just what Laird Hunt brilliantly delivers in his new novel.... a masterful

work by one of our finest writers.” Hunt’s recent novel, Kind One, was a 2013 Anisfield-Wolf

Book Award for Fiction winner and a finalist for both the 2013 Pen/Faulkner award and the 2013

Pen USA Literary Award in Fiction.
