A brilliantly written exploration of youth and self-delusion by the author of Revolutionary Road

All the sorrows of Evan Shepard's loutish adolescence were redeemed at seventeen, in 1935, when he fell in love with automobiles...

In the small suburban town of Cold Spring Harbor, Evan Shephard and his young bride Rachel yearn to escape the mistakes of their parents. But as they discover, families exert a hold as tight as fate, and every way out only ends up back home.

Industry Reviews

Yates writes with a sympathy so clear-hearted that it often feels like nostalgia for his own youth, and yet he is also thoroughly uncompromising in revealing their capacity for self-delusion, their bewilderment in the face of failure * New York Times *
So consistently well-written, just, unsentimental and sympathetic * Washington Post *
Read and weep -- Kate Atkinson
Yates's prose is as elegant and minimalist as ever... He simply tells the story - in easily comprehensible but perfectly pitched language -- Leyla Sanai * www.rocksbackpagesblogs.com *
