Westlake Porter Public Library - Conference Room

Spanning just 10 days & told from multiple POV Towles’s 3rd novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary style while providing an array of richly imagined settings, characters, & themes.

In June of 1954, 18-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the work farm where he has served just over a year for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett’s intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother and head west where they can start their lives anew. Two friends, stowaways from the work farm, have hidden in the warden's trunk and they have hatched a different plan for Emmett’s future.
