New York City. By day, JT is a labourer on the Upper East Side; by night he tries to get to sleep in a tenement in the East Village. His had been a normal childhood in Yonkers, upstate New York; a time of beers by the river, of working in his friend's father's garage, of studying to go to college. Then, one night, everything changed...
AUGUST AND THEN SOME is a taut and gripping family drama, in which horrifying secrets kept between father and daughter, and mother and son, explode during one tragic night. Set over the course of one year, it is a novel of revenge, repentance and forgiveness, and the difficulty of all those three.
Jaggedly beautiful and intensely realised, tightly plotted yet expansive, this novel is the coming-of-age of a striking new voice in American fiction.
