Let Him Go: a Novel
“BACK IN THE HUDSON, GEORGE SAYS, I’VE GOT NO USE FOR that man.
I told you, George. We need him.
What the hell for? Now we know Donnie’s people are here. We could ask around and see if we can get directions to the place.
Be sensible. We don’t know our way around this part of the world. We could crisscross the prairie for days and not find them.
George says nothing but shakes his head slowly. He turns the key in the ignition and, though the engine catches immediately, he keeps turning and lets th...e gnashing and growling of steel and grinding gears make an argument for him.
Find me a drugstore, Margaret says. If we’re going to be guests of the Weboys for supper, I need a few supplies.
Before he drives away, George Blackledge casts a long look back at Bill Weboy’s house. The skies have shifted once again, and a flash of sunlight turns all the house’s windows into mirrors. It’s impossible to determine whether that’s a man staring out from the kitchen or just a cloud shape reflected in the glass.MoreLess
