the book
It is 1918 and the world is at war. But this feels a million miles away for Laurel Shelton. In the house where her parents toiled and died, in the wilds of the Appalachian Mountains, Laurel aches for her life to begin. And then one day a stranger is discovered in the cove near her house. What follows is an unforgettable story of love, fate and divided loyalties.

Ron Rash is the best American novelist I have come upon in the last twenty years
Exquisite. A breathless sequence of events lead the book to its devastating final sentence
Recalls both Steinbeck and Cormac McCarthy
The Cove is a novel that speaks intimately to today's politics. Beautifully written, tough, raw, uncompromising, entirely new. Ron Rash is a writer's writer who writes for others
