The Lincoln Highway

In June 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson returns home to Nebraska after serving time at a juvenile work farm, planning to head west with his little brother to start a new life. Two friends who have escaped the work farm upend those plans, setting off a ten-day journey in the opposite direction toward New York City. Amor Towles's novel is a funny, big-hearted American road story told from multiple points of view.
