The dazzling odyssey of four young heroes across 1950s America from the beloved, multi-million copy bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow.
Amor Towles is the author of New York Times bestsellers Rules of Civility and A Gentleman in Moscow. The two novels have collectively sold more than 4 million copies and have been translated into more than thirty languages. Towles lives in Manhattan with his wife and two children.
[A] novel that is as much about the literary history of the
American road as it is about the journey itself, and deserves a
place alongside Kerouac, Steinbeck and Wolfe as the very best of
the genre

The best novel I've read in years. Epic and original, mesmeric and
life-affirming, in The Lincoln Highway Amor Towles takes his
unmatched gift for storytelling and puts it on the road. Every
beautiful paragraph takes the reader a mile further into a world
where our choices matter, where life surprises us, and where people
are worth the trouble. This is one of those rare and special books
that drive us home to ourselves

An absolute beauty of a book. Every character is a gem, the many
locations spring to vivid life, the book is an intricate and moving
exploration of journeys and the infinite unexpected turns they can
take - and somehow Towles makes it all seem effortless. As soon as
I finished it, I wanted to read it again.

Welcome to the enormous pleasure that is The Lincoln Highway, a big
book of camaraderie and adventure in which the miles fly by and the
pages turn fast. Set over the course of ten riveting days, the
story of these four boys unfolds, refolds, tears, and is taped back
together. When you aren't actually reading the book, you'll be
worrying about the characters, so you might as well stay in your
chair and keep reading
*Ann Patchett*
Finely observed and beautifully written. Amor Towles is that rare
combination of writer and storyteller.
