En savoir plus sur le livre
In this lyrical and emotional debut novel set in a small town in northeastern Ohio, the narrative unfolds during a fateful summer night in 2013, when four former classmates return home, each with a personal mission and haunted by their shared past. The story takes place against the backdrop of a region grappling with the aftermath of the Great Recession, an opioid crisis, and the impacts of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A generation has emerged amid war, recession, political strife, and environmental fears, leading to a stark reality where rural communities face rising death rates due to suicide and addiction. The characters include Bill Ashcraft, an alcoholic activist with a mysterious package; Stacey Moore, a doctoral candidate confronting her past; Dan Eaton, a shy veteran trying to reconnect with his high school sweetheart; and Tina Ross, whose encounter with a former football captain leads to a shocking climax. Blending elements of murder mystery and social critique, the novel captures the fractured spirit of a nation through the lens of a struggling Midwestern town, offering a poignant vision for America as it enters a turbulent new era.
