“The Lincoln Highway”by Amor Towles

In June, 1954, 18-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 is 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 10 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. ￼
