"This Tender Land" by Krueger was an amazing story with great characters, a strong plot, and powerful themes. I go in depth with this review and talk about "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. Both books are highly recommended.  #Goggins #literature #GreatDepression #StLouis #Minnesota

This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. This is a brilliant book which originally came out four years ago, but is now out in second format and worth revisiting for anyone who may have missed it at the time. It's about four children who escape from a terribly abusive school for Native American Indians (though actually only one of them is a Native American) and make their way down the Mississippi River from Missouri to St Louis where they believe they will find a new home. It's set in 1932. On their way they meet a lot of characters– people affected by the Great Depression living in shanty towns, shysters, faith healers, you name it – but the spirit and determination of these kids is remarkable and their journey is an odyssey towards a better future. Murdle: More Killer Puzzles by G.T.Karber . Sequel to Murdle, which was a runaway success last year – in fact it sold over 200,000 copies in the UK and beat things like Guinness World Records and the new Richard Osman Thursday Murder Club title to the top of the bestseller lists. It's based on a daily puzzle website the author developed in 2021, and across the book's 100 challenges, readers are given the scenario of a series of murders – some of them hugely inventive – for which you have to use codes and maps to decipher who the killers are – and there are four levels of difficulty. It's a bit like a printed, extended version of Cluedo. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

William Kent Krueger is the author of the Cork O’Connor series of mystery books about a detective who is part Irish, part Ojibwa and who solves crimes on the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota. Eighteen books in, it is one of the most beloved active crime series. Book eighteen, Lightning Strike, came out last fall, and the next iteration, Fox Creek, is due out autumn 2022. As with each of his last nine books, this new title is sure to be a New York Times best seller. Of course, some of you might know Krueger for his recent standalone novels, This Tender Land and Ordinary Grace—books with a touch of mystery, a dose of Americana, and a healthy serving of Krueger’s customary high-octane prose. Krueger joined the show recently to chat about the books he loves the most: the titles he loved as a kid and that inspire him as a writer today. He’s a born conversationalist and I think his love of books, stories, and his home shine through in this chat. Be prepared to add a few titles to that ever-growing TBR list you keep.

Michael sits down with award-winning author, William Kent Krueger to talk about the art of writing and his book, This Tender Land

The New York Times bestselling author of “This Tender Land” joined host Kerri Miller at the Fitzgerald Theater for the finale of this season's Talking Volumes.

The New York Times bestselling author of “This Tender Land” joined host Kerri Miller at the Fitzgerald Theater for the finale of this season's Talking Volumes.

William Kent Krueger joins Carol Fitzgerald to discuss his newest novel, Lightning Strike, which is a prequel to his Cork O'Connor series. He is the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Ordinary Grace, This Tender Land, 18 Cork O'Connor novels, and more. Lightning Strike tells the story of 12-year-old Cork O'Connor in his home town of Aurora, Minnesota. When Cork stumbles upon a dead body, he begins his first foray into detective work. His father, who is the sheriff of Aurora, needs to confirm that the man is dead by suicide, as all evidence suggests. But Cork takes matters into his own hands to find out what may have gone awry. Kent talks to Carol about how he decided to write this prequel that both serves an entry point for those new to the series (essentially functioning as a standalone), and also shares a backstory for longtime readers. He talks about some of the oft forgotten history of Minnesota in the novel --- including the repercussions of The Native Families Relocation Act of 1956, as well as his research, his inspirations, and a hint of what's next. Readers who enjoyed Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land will appreciate this latest novel.

3 guests, 2 writers of fiction touching on the Indian Boarding Schools, William Kent Krueger, author of This Tender Land, and Patricia Reynolds, author of the Keeper of the Souls series, and they are joined by a guest from Alberta, CA, 

William Kent Krueger is a nine time New York Times bestselling author. Known for his Cork O'Connor mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota, Krueger is also the author of several stand alone novels such as The Devil's Bed and Ordinary Grace. Krueger, who grew up in Oregon and now lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, is the recipient of numerous awards including the Minnesota Book Award and Edgar Award, given by the Mystery Writers of America for his book Ordinary Grace. His most recent novel, set in 1932 at an Indian boarding school in Central Minnesota, is titled This Tender Land.

This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger Odie (Odysseus) O'Banion and his brother Albert are sent away to the brutal Lincoln Indian Training School where they're the only two white students and where they befriend two other children, also suffering hardship. When things go very bad for them, they escape and begin an epic canoe trip down the Mississippi River, aiming for St Louis where they believe they will find a home. It takes place during the Great Depression which provides a very atmospheric background, and is in essence a modern reworking of Homer's Odyssey.Facing the Haka by Andy Burt and Jamie WallThe perfect Father's Day present! We all know the All Blacks are one of the most feared teams in rugby – so what's it like to be on the other team, with every Test beginning with the haka – what's it like to stare that down? This beautiful, big book with loads of photos tells the story of many haka over the years, and then about the games which followed – from the opposition's point of view.
