Publisher Comments

From the author of Snow Falling on Cedars comes this bestselling novel about a dying man's final journey through a landscape that has always sustained him and provided him with hope and challenges.

When he discovers that he has terminal cancer, retired heart surgeon Ben Givens refuses to simply sit back and wait. Instead he takes his two beloved dogs and goes on a last hunt, determined to end his life on his own terms. But as the people he meets and the memories over which he lingers remind him of the mystery of life's endurance, his trek into the American West becomes much more than a final journey.

Review

"A strikingly joyful book and a monumental achievement." The Philadelphia Inquirer

Review

"The writing is wonderful throughout, the characters are vivid...heartfelt, engaging and well drawn." The Miami Herald

Review

"Profound and ambitious....Guterson depicts...moral and spiritual struggle with a clear-eyed intensity and intelligence that gives East of the Mountains its essential authority." Chicago Tribune
