Publisher's Blurb:
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 work farm where he has just served a year 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 and head west 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.
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.

Loved both of his previous novels... I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, I can't wait, either! It sounds like another great novel, doesn't it?
DeleteI loved Gentleman. I don't think I knew he had another one coming out. This is great news.
ReplyDeleteTi, I'm super excited about this new book by Towles!
DeleteWOW, thanks I didn't know - I liked both previous books.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Diane. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this new book once it's released!!
DeleteI loved The Rules of Civility but haven't gotten around to A Gentleman in Moscow. Glad to hear there's also a new book to look forward to! And, such a different setting right?
ReplyDeleteIliana, I'm jealous that you haven't read A Gentleman in Moscow! You're in for such a treat!! It's one that I could read over and over again. I hope this new one is just as good as his others.
DeleteYes I did hear the audiobook of The Rules of Civility, which I liked, but I haven't read A Gentleman in Moscow yet. This new one sounds like a bit of a departure for him. I look forward to it in October. I'm sure it'll be good.
ReplyDeleteSusan, as I mentioned to Iliana, A Gentleman in Moscow is one that I could read over and over. I fell in love with the main characters and would love to see the book adapted for the big screen. Stanley Tucci would be perfect for the lead, in my opinion (although he may not fit all the physical traits, but he is such a great actor). Anyhow... this new one sounds promising, doesn't it?
