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, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction--to the City of New York. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. \"Once again, I was wowed by Towles's writing--especially because \u003ci\u003eThe Lincoln Highway\u003c\/i\u003e is so different from \u003ci\u003eA Gentleman in Moscow\u003c\/i\u003e in terms of setting, plot, and themes. Towles is not a one-trick pony. Like all the best storytellers, he has range. He takes inspiration from famous hero's journeys, including \u003ci\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHuckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOf Mice and Men\u003c\/i\u003e. He seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway. But, he suggests, when something (or someone) tries to steer us off course, it is possible to take the wheel.\" - Bill Gates\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmor Towles \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eRules of Civility\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Gentleman in Moscow\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Lincoln Highway. \u003c\/i\u003eThe three novels have collectively sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages.
