John Gardner's most poignant novel of improbable love.At the heart of John Gardner's "Nickel Mountain" is an uncommon love story: when at 42, the obese, anxious and gentle Henry Soames marries seventeen-year-old Callie Wells--who is pregnant with the child of a local boy--it is much more than years which define the gulf between them. But the beauty of this novel is the gradual revelation of the bond that develops as this unlikely couple experiences courtship and marriage, the birth of a son, isolation, forgiveness, work, and death in a small Catskill community in the 1950s. The plot turns on tragic events--they might be accidents or they might be acts of will--involving a cast of rural eccentrics tha includes a lonely amputee veteran, a religious hysteric (thought by some to be the devil himself) and an itinerant "Goat Lady." Questions of guilt, innocence, and even murder are eclipsed by deeds of compassion, humility, and redemption, and ultimately by Henry Soames' quiet discovery of grace.
Novelist William H. Gass, a friend and colleague of the author, has written an introduction that shines new light on the work and career of the much praised but often misunderstood John Gardner.

Sheets
Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Full
Have been the best sheets I've bought, would totally spend the money again. They feel soft against your skin yet keep you cool and comfortable. Easily fits my extra thick mattress, only a little wrinkles during use. They offer some wonderful colors, went with a dusty blue and am completely satisfied with richness of color.

Exceptional quality and feel
Color: 12 - Light Beige, Size: Queen
I will be purchasing again from Bedsure. I purchased the light beige which is exactly what the color was, like a gentle note of almond to it. Perfect for my bedroom as my master bath has light beige full shower, toilet and sink. I washed them and dressed the bed. The sizing was spot on. My mattress does has a 3" Mike Lindell topper. I would suggest making sure you follow their sizing which I did not do mine just happened to fit and didn't have much to spare either because of the topper.
The sheets feel wonderful to sleep on. They do feel cool on my skin and felt cool out of the package also. I do not believe you would be disappointed unless you just absolutely were in love with the sheets you are on. This set works beautifully for me and my skin loves the smooth texture of the material. I'll be a repeat buyer.

Love BUT they STINK!!
Color: 26 - Forest Green, Size: King
I have the dark green sheets and would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing.
Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin, haven’t been pilling near the foot area (which is what makes us go through so many sheets) and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️
