The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America

In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York.

Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. Belletristik Coming of Age Historische Romane

Many thanks to the author who took us on the unlikely adventure of three former juvenile detainees during the first half of the 20th century in a way that only Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn has done so far. The description of numerous unbelievable yet undoubtedly possible moments, encounters and interactions through the eyes of the différent characters brought the plot to instant life in-front of the imaginary eye. Superbe!

My favorite (audio) book of the year!

such a fantastic cast of characters - flawed, lovable, wise beyond their age, lost, strong in so many different ways, in search of themselves, and in search of something bigger. every one of them unique. I was in love with this book within minutes, due to the language, the voices given to the people in it, both by the author and the narrator. a recommendation.

masterful storytelling
