moiraburke 's review for:
The Lincoln Highway
by Amor Towles
Like “A Gentleman in Moscow,” this book is linguistic candy. Every sentence is delightful and the audiobook acting is excellent. This is The Odyssey set in 1950s America, with a young man attempting to drive from Nebraska to California being waylaid by a mischievous friend and ending up far in the opposite direction. Most of the characters are likable because of their quirks. My one frustration is that the only woman of note in the book is portrayed as an indignant shrew, though the author makes clear she has ample reasons for her annoyance. I wish she had had a larger presence and more opportunities for happiness.
