BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP 2024-2025 

The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles - presented by NBPL Foundation

September 11, 2024

Amor Towles’ latest is a compulsively readable joyride. Set in 1954, with the country on the brink of major change, this Great American Road Novel follows four boys, three fresh from a juvenile reformatory, as they set out in an old Studebaker in pursuit of a better future. Their route from Nebraska to New York is filled with unexpected twists, turns, detours and close encounters. This is a quest novel, and its large cast – not all of whom are heroic – settle scores as they seek to find their way home.
