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.
