This is my 5th or 6th book by WKK and I just love his writing, sensibilities, sensitivities, detail and, of course, his ability to spin a yarn that pulls you in, touches you, surprises you and most importantly, keeps you interested. The characters make this story great and Odie above all else is the heart, soul and thrust of this adventure. If you enjoy a good story and can still be moved by beauty and filled with wonder, give this a chance.

This book kept my interest from the beginning to the end. Characters were well developed and distinctive. Not a true story but very well could have been. Loved some of the history talked about in the book. Some great twist and turns especially at the end. Would definitely recommend reading this book.

A real page turner with memorable characters and valuable insights and lessons on who we are or could be. William's writing style is wonderful.

I’m not sure I have the words for how much I loved this beautifully written literary masterpiece! It made me cry and it made me smile… I felt for so many of the characters, I hoped, I worried, I pondered, I cheered for their triumphs, I wanted to reach through the pages and give them a warm hug…This tender, powerful story pulled at my heartstrings and is one of my favourite reads of 2022
This Tender Land is heartfelt, graceful, heroic, tense, hopeful, inspiring, sad and beautiful, it is simply stunning and is a story I will not forget… I already miss the characters. It is a truely magical coming of age story set during the hard times of the Great Depression and is filled with humble, brave, and down to earth characters who I cared about deeply. Please add this to your reading list, you absolutely must!!

nach der fabelhaft spannenden serie über den sheriff-detective cork o connor einmal etwas ganz anderes: kent krueger hat hier eine modernere und realistischere version von huck finns abenteuern erschaffen: vor dem hintergrund der amerikanischen depression, in der hunderttausende mittelloser familien das land als tramps durchstreiften, brechen 4 kinder aus einem waisenhaus aus. dieses haus ist ein umerziehungsheim für indianische kinder, grausame realität bis in die 50er jahre. die 4 kinder flüchten in einem gestohlenen kanu und erleben viele abenteuer und gefahren, ehe sie in saint louis ankommen, wo sie hoffen bei einer tante unterzukommen. atemberaubend spannend, viel härter und realistischer als huckleberry finns geschichte, gibt einen guten einblick in soziale verhältnisse der zeit. die figuren sind lebendig und die landschaftsbeschreibungen von kent krueger wie immer herrlich. man ist für ein paar stunden völlig bezaubert und gefangen.
