Highway Blue: A Novel

A hypnotic debut of broken love on the run, from a blazingly original young writer

"A road novel, a love story, a coming-of-age tale, but with sentences so sharply wrought, characters so achingly precise, that it feels new and fresh and utterly alive."-Lynn Steger Strong, author of Want

"In front of me the long length of the road wound out, wound out and wound on under hot sky. And I drove . . ."

In the lonely town of San Padua, Anne Marie can never get the sound of the ocean out of her head. And it's here-dog-walking by day, working bars by night-where she tries to forget about her ex-husband, Cal: both their brief marriage and their long estrangement.

When Cal shows up on Anne Marie's doorstep one day, clearly in trouble, she reluctantly agrees to a drink. But later that night a gun goes off in a violent accident and the young couple are forced to hit the open road together in escape.

Crammed in a beat-up car with their broken past, so begins a journey across a vast, mythical American landscape, through the dark seams of the country, toward a city that may or may not represent salvation.

Highway Blue is a story of being lost and found-and of love, in all its forms. Written in spare, shimmering prose, it introduces the arrival of an electrifyingly singular new voice.
