It is 1954 and 18 year-old Emmett Watson's warden is driving him home to Nebraska after serving 15 months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother has been dead and his father recently died and the family farm is in foreclosure. Emmett decides to head to California with his 8 year-old brother Billy. He soon discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden in the trunk of the warden's car.

EadieB Together, they hatch a different plan for Emmett and his brother. This plan will take them in the opposite direction to New York City. This slow-paced story of their adventure is told in multiple POV's and is very entertaining. By the end, you are enjoying yourself so much that you wish you could follow them on other trip. There are multiple themes; hope, redemption, family, friendship, loyalty and morality. (edited) 2y
EadieB I can't wait for the next book by Towles as he is a master storyteller. If you liked his other books, then I'm sure you will like this one too! 2y
Cortg I‘m looking forward to this read. I‘m currently #154 on the hold list at the library ☺️ 2y
EadieB @Cortg Sign up for the audio. Sometimes you can get the audio faster than the book. I listened to the audio and enjoyed it. 2y
