title: The Brave: A Novel
author:  Nicholas Evans 
description: "Alternating past and present, Evans expertly juggles his twin narratives until they come shatteringly together as father and son yield to the combined weight of the secrets they hide. Combining elements of the prep school drama, the Hollywood novel, the western, and the war story, Evans (<em>The Horse Whisperer</em>) skillfully mixes genres to create a real crowd-pleaser."<b><i><em>Publishers Weekly</em></i></b><br /><br />"Ever the master of intense and complex relationships, Evans has crafted a time-traveling plot that admirably juggles issues of identity and fidelity to one's self and one's principles."<b>Carol Haggas</b>, <b><i><em>Booklist</em></i></b><br /><br />"Evans displays a sure hand at drawing characters and their motivations and settings as diverse as a gloomy boarding school, glamorous Hollywood, and the wide-open spaces of the West. This should appeal to all lovers of good storytelling."<b>Dan Forrest</b>, <b><i><em>Library Journal</em></i></b><br /><br />"<em>The Brave</em> is an engrossing tale that ... suggest[s] that, as Faulkner said, "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past." Fans of <i>The Horse Whisperer </i>won't want to miss this complex and satisfying story. For readers who have not had the pleasure of reading Evans, but are looking to get lost in a big novel with larger-than-life characters, <i>The Brave</i> is sure to fit the bill."<b>Kelly Blewett</b>, <b><i><em>BookPage</em></i></b>
