Hunter's Moon

A Novel in Stories

By: Philip Caputo

Narrated by: Alex Hyde-White

From Philip Caputo--the author of A Rumor of War, The Longest Road, and Some Rise By Sin--comes a captivating mosaic of stories set in a small town where no act is private and the past is never really past.

Hunter’s Moon is set in Michigan’s wild, starkly beautiful Upper Peninsula, where a cast of recurring characters move into and out of each other’s lives, building friendships, facing loss, confronting violence, trying to bury the past or seeking to unearth it. Once-a-year lovers, old high-school buddies on a hunting trip, a college professor and his wayward son, a middle-aged man and his grief-stricken father, come together, break apart, and, if they’re fortunate, find a way forward.

Hunter’s Moon offers an engaging, insightful look at everyday lives but also a fresh perspective on the way men navigate in today’s world.

I first discovered Phil with Rumor of War had it right then and now

A novel in short stories

One of those books you experience rather than read, written by an author who composes stunning prose, and nobody knows if he uses blue ink or black.

I have a new favorite author!

Somehow I missed Philip Caputo until now. This is a beautiful collection of stories. I heartily recommend.
