The Divide

Library Journal Review: The latest offering from the mega-bestselling author of The Horse Whisperer involves a fractured family coming to terms with the dissolution of a marriage, and a death. When a young woman is found embedded in the ice of a Montana mountain creek, the police quickly discover that she is Abbie Cooper, long missing and long wanted by the FBI for murder and eco-terrorist activities. How she came to be there and her descent from "golden child" of a privileged New York family to one of the FBI's most wanted is a mystery that isn't fully solved until the last pages of the novel. Told alternately by various members of the Cooper family, the story is both tragic and redemptive. As with Evans's other novels, the landscape figures as prominently as the characters, though at times the descriptions are slightly overwritten and preachy. Nonetheless, this is an engaging story that Evans's fans will want to read. Recommended for public libraries and popular reading collections.
