9 . Four adventurous novels will quickly take you away on an epic journey without leaving your couch.
This Tender Land
by William Kent Krueger
It is about four Creat Depression orphans who flee their harsh school in a canoe down the Mississippi. This is a historical fiction novel that not only captures the time and place of the Great Depression but the characters that lived through it. It is packed with so much heart that you won’t be able to put it down.
Lonesome Dove
by Larry McMurtry
I’ve always been attracted by the idea of the Wild West, and really Lonesome Dove is considered one of the best western novels out there. The book follows Jake Spoon, a former Texas Ranger, who’s on the run from a sheriff (治安官) from Arkansas and would love to be anywhere but Lonesome Dove. Truly this story is about carving out a place for yourself in the world.
Out of Darkness, Shining Light
by Petina Gappah
Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. This is a powerful and adventurous story that leads the reader on a winding tale as his loyal followers attempt to get the Scottish doctor home.
The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters
by Balli Kaur Jaswal
This family drama truly feels like an adventure as you flip through its pages. At the last request of their dying mother, three estranged (疏远的) British born Punjabi sisters are forced to take a pilgrim’s tour (朝圣之旅) to Amritsar together. This is a powerful and evocative (唤起感情的) travel story from the perspective of three very different women. Together they learn about themselves, about their mother and their lives.
