About this listen
In 1915 Minnesota, Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose. His only success long behind him, Monte lives a simple life with his loving wife and whipsmart son. But when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a new world of opportunity and experience presents itself.
Glendon has spent years in obscurity, but the guilt he harbors for abandoning his wife, Blue, over two decades ago, has finally lured him from hiding. As the modern age marches swiftly forward, Glendon aims to travel back into his past - heading to California to seek Blue's forgiveness. Beguiled and inspired, Monte soon finds himself leaving behind his own family to embark for the unruly West with his fugitive guide - a journey that will test the depth of his loyalties, the inviolability of his morals, and the strength of his resolve.
As they flee from the relentless Charles Siringo, an ex-Pinkerton who's been hunting Glendon for years, Monte falls ever further from his family and the law, to be tempered by a fiery adventure from which he may never get home.

Beautifully crafted adventure tale.
What made the experience of listening to So Brave, Young, and Handsome the most enjoyable?
The writing. Leif Enger writes beautifully, every sentence is well crafted and every phrase is just gorgeous.
What other book might you compare So Brave, Young, and Handsome to, and why?
His other book, "Peace like a River". Both are adventure yarns, both explore and blur the subtleties of what is good and what is bad, both make you feel like you're in unexplored territory and both are stunning.
What about Dan Woren’s performance did you like?
A beautiful, evocative voice. You could imagine yourself being told this tale whilst sitting round a campfire in the Wild West.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
A journey worth taking, a yarn worth hearing.
