The Native Tongue of Violence
Acclaimed novelist Kevin Powers turns his formidable gifts to a story of young Virginians and the horrors of World War I
Kevin Powers, the author of the landmark Iraq War novel The Yellow Birds, returns with Children of the Wild, a deeply felt tale of two men — one wealthy, one penniless, both in love with the same woman — and the endurance of their unlikely friendship as they journey from the valleys of southwest Virginia to the killing fields of France during the first World War and back home to a rapidly changing world.
