Description

Three strangers who are trying to find their ways in the wake of loss become entwined in fraudulent schemes, which have a resounding impact on them all. One is a college student who hops a bus to break loose from his abstract and tenuous existence. Another is a man searching for his troubled twin brother, who has been missing for ten years. And another is a naïve, young woman who sneaks away from her small town with her former history teacher. Their three lives interconnect in unforeseen ways—and with unexpected consequences.

      • content: This psychologically charged novel tells the gripping story of three strangers who escape from their corners of Middle America and become involved in an identity-theft scheme that profoundly changes each of their lives. It is an atmospheric, character-driven story that explores the human need to reinvent oneself after a great loss. Narrator Kirby Heyborne's reading urges the book forward, and his tone is both soothing and consistent. He does a masterful job of bringing the book's characters together while maintaining each person's identity through subtle but definite changes in pitch. Heyborne reads too quickly at times, but then gathers himself and returns to a more measured pace, deftly emphasizing key phrases and plot twists. R.I.G. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

        Starred review from June 8, 2009
        Three disparate characters and their oddly interlocking lives propel this intricate novel about lost souls and hidden identities from National Book Award–finalist Chaon (You Remind Me of Me
        ). Eighteen-year-old Lucy Lattimore, her parents dead, flees her stifling hometown with charismatic high school teacher George Orson, soon to find herself enmeshed in a dangerous embezzling scheme. Meanwhile, Miles Chesire is searching for his unstable twin brother, Hayden, a man with many personas who's been missing for 10 years and is possibly responsible for the house fire that killed their mother. Ryan Schuyler is running identity-theft scams for his birth father, Jay Kozelek, after dropping out of college to reconnect with him, dazed and confused after learning he was raised thinking his father was his uncle. Chaon deftly intertwines a trio of story lines, showcasing his characters' individuality by threading subtle connections between and among them with effortless finesse, all the while invoking the complexities of what's real and what's fake with mesmerizing brilliance. This novel's structure echoes that of his well-received debut—also a book of threes—even as it bests that book's elegant prose, haunting plot and knockout literary excellence.
