Book synopsis

A "New York Times Notable Book of the Year "A dark and irresistible miracle: a heartbreaking thriller."--"Los Angeles Times "Haunting. . . . A powerful and affecting novel."--"The New York Times A tragic accident sets in motion a cycle of violence and retribution in John Burnham Schwartz's riveting novel Reservation Road. Two haunted men and their families are engulfed by the emotions surrounding an unexpected and horrendous death. Ethan, a respected professor of literature at a small New England college, is wracked by an obsession with revenge that threatens to tear his family apart. Dwight, a man at once fleeing his crime and hoping to get caught, wrestles with overwhelming guilt and his sense of obligation to his son. As these two men's lives unravel, Reservation Road moves to its startling conclusion. This is an astonishing tale of love and loss, rage and redemption, that is as suspenseful as it is emotionally compelling. "Thrums with suspense and moral ambiguity. . . . This is one of those rare--very rare--novels that you don't so much read as inhabit and that makes everyday life seem altogether mysterious." --"Entertainment Weekly "A triumph . . . character-driven as it is, it reads like a thriller, swift and complete."--"The New York Times Book Review
