“Traduit de l'anglais (Etats-Unis) par Nathalie Cunnington

Juin 1954. Emmett Watson, dix-huit ans, rentre chez lui, dans le Nebraska, après avoir passé quinze mois dans un centre de détention pour mineurs. Il y retrouve Billy, son frère de huit ans. Leur père vient de mourir, leur mère les a abandonnés des années auparavant, et la banque s’apprête à saisir la ferme familiale. Les deux frères doivent partir, mais où aller ? Leur choix
se porte sur la Californie : Billy espère y rejoindre leur mère après avoir découvert les cartes postales que celle-ci leur a envoyées tout au long de la
Lincoln Highway, route mythique traversant tout le pays qu’elle a empruntée des années plus tôt pour fuir à l’autre bout des États-Unis.
Leur plan est chamboulé lorsque deux codétenus d’Emmett en cavale, le roublard Duchess et son acolyte Woolly, qui semble toujours tombé de la
lune, décident de se joindre à eux. À peine le voyage entamé, Duchess et Woolly décampent dans la voiture d’Emmett, emportant le pécule laissé par son père et leurs rêves de vie nouvelle. Les deux frères se lancent alors à leur poursuite.
Tissant avec brio les grands motifs de l’Americana, Amor Towles livre un roman choral aux personnages hauts en couleur et au rythme haletant, une véritable épopée dans la tradition du road novel. Tout au long de l’imprévisible Lincoln Highway, Towles déploie son immense talent de conteur et d’écrivain virtuose pour embarquer le lecteur dans un voyage tourbillonnant.

Readers' opinions about Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles

I loved the powerful messages hidden within the story. The book tackled important social issues and made me ponder the world we live in. It's a must-read for everyone.

The plot twists were executed masterfully. I was left gasping at every unexpected turn, and the suspense kept me on edge throughout. Bravo to the author for keeping me guessing.

I must confess, this book made me shed tears like never before. The themes of love, loss, and resilience struck a chord with my soul. It was an emotional journey I'm grateful to have taken.
