A visceral and beautifully penned novel. The story is riveting and patiently told, with just the right amount of historical exposition to situate the reader and immerse us in Ben’s isolated world. The language itself, however, is where this narrative shines, as Arbogast writes with a deft and descriptive pen, stringing together themes that criss-cross the prose, creating a web of emotions and intentions that feel deeply authentic. Sorrow Ledge is an original Civil War story in an unexpected setting that is a dramatic and engaging delight.
