Derek B. Miller
The powerful and epic coming-of-age story
from the author of Norwegian By Night
'Compelling and deeply satisfying.' Booklist
'[A] terrific coming-of-age story . . .
Readers will root for Sheldon, a memorable survivor, every step of the way.' Publishers Weekly
'Miller juggles each element effortlessly.
His character portraits are indelible, often heartbreaking. At times this novel
moved me to tears' The
New York Times
It's 1936, war is
brewing, tempers are running high, and by his thirteenth birthday, Sheldon
Horowitz has been orphaned - twice. While a terrible accident took his mother,
Sheldon is convinced that his father was murdered. But no-one else thinks so,
least of all the police.
Determined to
track down the culprit, and leaving behind his only friend Lenny, Sheldon moves
to Hartford, Connecticut to live with his uncle. He is told to keep his head
down and forget the past. But that just isn't his style.
Fired up by his
politically-minded cousin Abe (and quite possibly in love with other cousin
Mirabelle), he sets out on a quest to discover the truth that will take him
from industrial Hartford to a ritzy hotel in the Catskills, back to his
childhood home and finally on to New York.
Sheldon quickly
discovers that it's a jungle out there, and to survive, he will have to learn
to make his own luck. Fortunately, that's one thing he's very good at...
A tragic-comic
coming of age story like no other, for fans of All The Light We Cannot See, and
Michael Chabon's The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
