Description
Set on the coast of Maine over the course of four summers, RED HOOK ROAD tells the story of two families and of the ways in which their lives are unraveled and stitched together by misfortune, by good intentions and failure, and by love and calamity."A thoroughly gripping and elegantly written story about love, grief, friendship, and the unexpected ways in which disaster brings families together. The novel is chockfull of revelations and insights on how people both unravel and manage to find grace under strain."—Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner
"This beautiful novel shows us how families cope with the most painful kinds of loss and reminds us that even as grief fractures, it can pave the way for unexpected grace."—Ann Packer, author of The Dive from Clausen’s Pier
"Every day, families are shoved into new realities. Red Hook Road is a masterful imagining of the way a single tragic event impacts the psyches and behaviors and dynamics of two families. Waldman's writing is elegant and riveting."—Kelly Corrigan, author of The Middle Place
"You won't be able to tear yourself away from Waldman's powerful evocation of grief."—Real Simple
