Mohawk is an outstanding first novel, a poignant, unforgettable story of old passions set in a leather town in upstate New York where the tanneries have long ago begun to close down. It is a drama of small-town life that captures all the comedy and tragedy of the human experience. With its rich variety of characters and events, its warmth and humour and the simple power of its storytelling.
