In a novel that only Ron Hansen could have written, and in writing that is at once exquisite, deeply felt, and courageous, Omaha native Ron Hansen has crafted a
doubled narrative that on the one hand brings to life
the biography of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and the lives of five nuns, passengers on the ill-fated Deutschland, whose wreck brought Hopkins back to writing.
Exiles is a story of the soul's progress as well as of adventure on the high seas, and it's flat out remarkable.
