Relation During Books All the Things We Leave Behind

A novel of absence and adolescence by the author of the award-winning "The Town That Drowned."

It's 1977. Seventeen-year-old Violet is left behind by her parents to manage their busy roadside antique business for the summer. Her restless older brother, Bliss, has disappeared, leaving home without warning, and her parents are off searching for clues. Violet is haunted by her brother's absence while trying to cope with her new responsibilities. Between visiting a local hermit, who makes twig furniture for the shop, and finding a way to land the contents of the coveted Vaughn estate, Violet acts out with her summer boyfriend, Dean, and wonders about the mysterious boneyard. But what really keeps her up at night are thoughts of Bliss's departure and the white deer, which only she has seen.

"All the Things We Leave Behind" is about remembrance and attachment, about what we collect and what we leave behind. In this highly affecting novel, Nason explores the permeability of memory and the sometimes confusing bonds of human emotion. - 20160303

"Or maybe it's that we keep some of a loved one's possessions after they've died as a way to deal with what we can't understand. We want to have an object they owned out where we can see it. We want to be sure we know where a few of their things are, because we don't truly know--can't fathom--where they themselves have gone."This morning on my way to work I happened to pass by 3 deer walking along side the highway headed into the woods. My initial reaction was oh, how beautiful! My second

This is a great book that should be in every high school library.

DON'T TALK TO ME. I'M STILL NOT OVER THIS.

This was a very easy read. I have real mixed feelings about it. The best part of this novel is really how it wound up at the end -- when the author revealed what had happened and the feelings involved with the protagonist (and her parents), I must admit my thoughts of this novel were elevated at that point. Like I say, mixed feelings though glad I read it.

I loved this book, especially since I know a lot of the places she talks about growing up and going to school in Nackawic. When I was about halfway through the book, I woke up one night and had a thought that I knew what was going to happen. The writing is so descriptive and she has a way of filling out the characters so you feel you know them personally. Can't wait for the next one!

I lived for a few years outside Fredericton at Islandview, overlooking the Saint John River and not far from Mactaquac Dam which resulted in the flooding of Hawkshaw New Brunswick. I had no knowledge of the flooding of Hawkshaw or the building of Nackawic as a replacement centre. I only knew how beautiful and mystical and magical the entire Saint John River valley is. This book captured that eerie beauty of the Saint John River Valley and shared many charming facts about the antique industry.
