Prudence: A Novel

A haunting and unforgettable novel about love, loss, race, and desire in World War IIâ€“era America.
Â
On a sweltering day in August 1942, Frankie Washburn returns to his familyâ€™s rustic Minnesota resort for one last visit before he joins the war as a bombardier, headed for the darkened skies over Europe. Awaiting him at the Pines are those heâ€™s about to leave behind: his hovering mother; the distant father to whom heâ€™s been a disappointment; the Indian caretaker whoâ€™s been more of a father to him than his own; and Billy, the childhood friend who over the years has become something much more intimate. But before the homecoming can be celebrated, the search for a German soldier, escaped from the POW camp across the river, explodes in a shocking act of violence, with consequences that will reverberate years into the future for all of them and that will shape how each of them makes sense of their lives.
Â
With Prudence, Treuer delivers his most ambitious and captivating novel yet. Powerful and wholly original, itâ€™s a story of desire and loss and the search for connection in a riven world; of race and class in a supposedly more innocent era. Most profoundly, itâ€™s about the secrets we choose to keep, the ones we canâ€™t help but tell, and whoâ€”and howâ€”weâ€™re allowed to love.
