Amor Towles returns with a rowdy tale of the misadventures of 4 boys as they attempt to travel the transcontinental Lincoln Highway from Times Square to San Francisco in the 1950s. Towles is one of my all-time favorite authors, his character work literally never fails. I still remember the stars from his other books: Katey Kontent, from rules of civility, climbing the social ladder in NYC (please read my rec for this book, to me its aged like fine wine & is solidified as one of my all-timers), and Count Rostov, from A Gentleman in Moscow, appreciating the small things in life: every detail. That in mind - itโs high praise when I say that Emmett, Duchess, Woolly, and Bobby may be the most memorable characters Iโve experienced in a long time. It's a fun read, filled with great characters, and a whole lotta heart.
