my favorite quotes: "...all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved." "...so few of us learn that love is tenderness, and tenderness is not, as a fair proportion suspect, pity; and still fewer know that happiness in love is not the absolute focusing of all emotion in another: one has always to love a good many things which the beloved must come to symbolize; the true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilac opening, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all it's seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory." "the brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface: and why not? any love is natural and beautiful that lies within a person's nature; only hypocrites would hold a man responsible for what he loves, emotional illiterates and those of righteous envy, who, in their agitated concern, mistake so frequently the arrow pointing to heaven for the one that leads to hell." "What we want most is to be held...and told..that everything (everything is a funny thing, is baby milk and papa's eyes, is roaring logs on a cold morning, is hoot owls and the boy who makes you cry after school, is mama's long hair, is being afraid and twisted faces on the bedroom wall)...is going to be alright." loved this book. LOOOOVED it.

This book was a delightful read. About a small Northwestern coastal town that is conglomeration of all the Pacific Northwest coastal villages I have been to, with a healthy dose of Irish culture thrown is as well. The book has some beautiful narrative threads: following Worried Man, who can feel other people's pain and Ceder, an older gent who was born out of the Mink River, or at least came to on its banks after Worried Man rescued him, through their various projects as heads of the Department of Public Works. The idea of story-telling and the story as metaphor for the wonderful twists and turns of life is a prevelant plot throughout the book. It makes perfect sense, given that the two cultures Doyle explores in the book, that of the coastal tribes and Irish settlers, have cultures that are immersed in the power and significance of stories. It would be wrong of me to say that Cedar and Worried Man are the main characters of the book, the novel is, after all, an exploration of an entire coastal town, and as such, it highlights many characters, both human and animal, that share the area. Doyle has done his research on coastal flora and fauna and his descriptions of the natural areas match his beautiful prose. I really enjoyed some of the structural techniques, paragraphs that are point-of-view scenarios split between two characters, alternating sentences capturing each character's point-of-view. Short chapters that explore ideas: every sound that is occurring in the town simultaneously; descriptions of the different habits of Northwest woods; how animals talk to each other in their own languages. Doyle is obviously a Catholic but some of the rituals he describes are quite a beautiful and he doesn't limit himself to this point of view. A fascinating exploration of Northwest Life and it was great to read during the midst of a turmoil within my own life. I was starting to lose hope with Oregon, feeling like maybe all the people headed to California had the right idea. But this novel brought me back to an appreciation of the wonderful culture and natural landscape that make Oregon beautiful.
