In one of Jim Harrison’s greatest works, five members of the Northridge family narrate the tangled epic of their history on the Nebraska plains.
The Road Home continues the story of the captivating heroine Dalva and her peculiar and remarkable family. It encompasses the voices of Dalva’s grandfather John Northridge, the austere, hard-living half-Sioux patriarch; Naomi, the widow of his favorite son and namesake; Paul, the first Northridge son, who lived in the shadow of his brother; and Nelse, the son taken from Dalva at birth, who now has returned to find her. It is haunted by the hovering spirits of the father and the lover Dalva lost to this country’s wars. It is a family history drenched in suffering and joy, imbued with fierce independence and love, rooted in the Nebraska soil, and intertwined with the destiny of whites and native Americans in the American West.
Epic in scope, stretching from the close of the nineteenth century to the present day, The Road Home is a stunning and trenchant novel, written with the humour, humanity, and inimitable evocation of the American spirit that have delighted Jim Harrison’s legion of fans.

“The Road Home confirms what his longtime fans already know: Harrison is on the short list of American literary masters. ” —The Denver Post
“Demonstrates why [Harrison] is considered one of the best storytellers around. ” —The Washington Post
“The Road Home is Harrison at the peak of his powers, a splendid combined prequel and sequel … very much alive and probably his best novel. ” —Boston Sunday Herald
