Praise for The Great Northern Express
“Like Howard Frank Mosher, I am a novelist and a cancer survivor, and I live in northern New England. The journey Mr. Mosher describes is very familiar to me—made more poignant by the faultless details and inimitable characters the author encounters on his odyssey of self-discovery. Mosher has always been a gifted storyteller; this time, there is an added euphoria in his storytelling—borne by the hope he and I share: for now, we have dodged a bullet that thirty thousand American men don’t dodge every year.”
—John Irving
“Mosher colorfully weaves stories…to create a brilliantly vibrant quilt that covers us with his warmth, humor, and love of discovery, reading, and writing.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Whimsical….Mosher provides a genial reminder that adventures are possible at any age.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Hilarious, poignant, and honest, this bittersweet memoir is a sheer delight to read.”
—Booklist
