When Mathilde's stepfather dies in Denmark, she is plagued by
worries about the potential death of her American father on the
other side of the Atlantic. In a desire to catalog her love for,
and memories with, her father, Mathilde travels to America and
writes a novel about their relationship that she has always known
she should write. Lone Star is about distances: the miles between a
father and daughter; the detachment between Mathilde's Danish
upbringing and her American family; the separation of language; and
the passage of time between Mathilde's adulthood and the summers
she spent as a child in St. Louis. These irrevocable gaps swirl as
Mathilde voyages to meet her father in Texas to explore a
relationship that still has time to grow. At once a travelogue and
family novel, Lone Star occupies the often-mythologized landscape
of Texas to share a story of being alive and claiming the right to
feel at home, even across the ocean.
