Among them are a man haunted by murder, an orphan searching for purpose, and women whose endurance holds fragile communities together. As forests fall, fortunes rise, and violence erupts, Dillard constructs a sweeping, unsentimental portrait of frontier life, where survival is never guaranteed and the natural world remains indifferent to human ambition.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eBest known for her Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003ePilgrim at Tinker Creek\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, Dillard spent years researching the history of the Pacific Northwest for \u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eThe Living\u003c\/span\u003e, her first novel.
