A "WASHINGTON POST" BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
From the author of "A Million Nightingales" ("a writer of
exceptional gifts and grace"--Joyce Carol Oates) comes a luminous
new novel about the forces that tear families apart and the ties
that bind them together.
Fantine Antoine is a travel writer, a profession that keeps her
happily away from her Southern California home. When she returns to
mark the fifth anniversary of the murder of her closest childhood
friend, Glorette, she finds herself pulled into the tumultuous life
of Glorette's twenty-two-year-old son--and Fantine's
godson--Victor. After getting involved in a shooting, Victor has
fled to New Orleans. Together with her father, Fantine follows
Victor, determined to help him avoid the criminal future that he
suddenly seems destined for. On this journey her father will reveal
the wrenching secrets of his past, and Fantine will be compelled to
question the most essential choices she's made in her life.
