Before Us Like a Land of Dreams

Karin Anderson England

Salt Lake City, Utah: Torrey House Press, May 28, 2019

  • Karin Anderson England: Author
Novel
Before Us Like a Land of Dreams follows a disheartened Utah mother traveling an evocative route through the sites of her arid Western ancestry. As her narration fades, the dead speak their stories: a ragged Mormon boy; a hoarder’s queer son; descendants of British squatters. They give no answers, but conjure vivid moments set in iconic—and diminishing—American places.
