Disappearances
Description
A Vermont family in financial straits turns to smuggling Canadian whiskey back into a Prohibition- and Depression-era America. Mosher's first novel, introducing us to the author's budding literary relationship with northern rural Vermont - an intimacy that would span an entire career, and rest in the forested confines of the fictional Kingdom County. Republished in 2006 by First Mariner Books. Adapted for a 2006 film of the same title starring Kris Kristofferson and directed, as some of Mosher's other adapted texts, by Jay Craven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465440/). From First Mariner Books: "An exhilirating adventure tale, 'Disappearances' is the incredible story of a young man named Wild Bill Bonhomme and his reckless, larger-than-life father, Quebec Bill, who set out to smuggle Canadian liquor into Prohibition-era Vermont. Desperate to keep their family farm afloat, the pair embark on a heroic whiskey-running mission in the bitter winter of 1932..."
