A collection of fourteen stories interweaving the lives of three generations in the remote town of Neptune, Vermont. Catching sight of the village of Neptune nestled in a remote Vermont valley, a traveler likens it to "a lost kingdom." The fourteen stories in Catherine Tudish's gorgeously crafted volume interweave the lives of three generations in this "embarrassingly pretty town" of "upward of a thousand souls" as they inevitably touch the outside world. A boy born of a secret affair travels by train to South Carolina for a first-time meeting with his respected father. A recent widow and Boston transplant solves the mystery of a teen girl gone missing. A beloved sheriff breaks up a drug operation, only to get busted himself for helping undocumented workers evade ICE. The disappointed wife of a rural mail driver presents him with a nude portrait--of herself. A shy girl with a speech impediment loses her stutter when she befriends and speaks to a black bear. Another boy has nightmares that seem to be the memories of a distant stranger's tragedy. Even as their loyalties and traditions are tested through loss, betrayal, and startling discovery, the characters in A Thousand Souls embody the belonging that comes from a close-knit community. Sharply observed, wry, and deeply tender, these stories resonate with both the intricacy and cost of interconnection as the years pass, and ordinary lives take unexpected turns.
