About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The best-selling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America.
In June, 1954, 18-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served 15 months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother 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, Billy, and head to California 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, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction - to the city of New York.
Spanning just 10 days and told from multiple points of view, Towles' 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.

Another masterclass by Mr. Towles
Love( for brother), Erudition and Persistence the central theme of the srory
A fast moving story, though the title may be a bit misleading.

Brilliant
Absolute pleasure. The narrative just catapults you into the life of Emmett, Billy, Woolly & Duchess. Every chapter is beautiful interwoven and is a smooth sailing throughout.

Unique storytelling
I enjoyed the uniqueness of the plot. But some parts were tad stretched/overdone. Also, I did not like the end!
