For fans of J. Courtney Sullivan, Meg Wolitzer, Claire Messud, and
Emma Straub, a gorgeous and absorbing novel of a trio of confused
souls struggling to find themselves and the way forward in their
lives, set against the spectacular backdrop of contemporary New
York City.Set in the most magical parts of Manhattan--the Upper
West Side, Central Park, Greenwich Village--The Ramblers explores
the lives of three lost souls, bound together by friendship and
family. During the course of one fateful Thanksgiving week, a time
when emotions run high and being with family can be a mixed
blessing, Rowley's sharply defined characters explore the moments
when decisions are deliberately made, choices accepted, and pasts
reconciled.Clio Marsh, whose bird-watching walks through Central
Park are mentioned in New York Magazine, is taking her first
tentative steps towards a relationship while also looking back to
the secrets of her broken childhood. Her best friend, Smith
Anderson, the seemingly-perfect daughter of one of New York's
wealthiest families, organizes the lives of others as her own has
fallen apart. And Tate Pennington has returned to the city,
heartbroken but determined to move ahead with his artistic
dreams.Rambling through the emotional chaos of their lives, this
trio learns to let go of the past, to make room for the future and
the uncertainty and promise that it holds. The Ramblers is a love
letter to New York City--an accomplished, sumptuous novel about
fate, loss, hope, birds, friendship, love, the wonders of the
natural world and the mysteries of the human spirit.
