THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY

By Amor Towles

‘A Gentleman In Moscow’ is a firm staff favourite — it is like recommending an old friend — so we were excited when the advanced reading copies arrived to see if Amor Towles could deliver on his new book... and he has. “There is a remarkable blend of sweetness and doom. It is intricate, but not complex. A very moving exploration of the many unexpected turns a journey can make, with more than a passing nod to Huckleberry Finn... and somehow Mr Towles makes it all effortless, but at the same time exhilarating.”

“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 the only mistake he’s ever made.

With his mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed by the bank, Emmett plans to pick up his eight year old brother Billy and head to California to start a new life. But when the warden drives off, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have stowed away in the trunk of the warden’s car. They have a very different plan for Emmett and Billy… one that will take them on a fateful journey in the opposite direction to New York City.”

Highly recommended.
