'A dazzling book' AMINATTA FORNA
When Evan, twenty-six, is suddenly called home to the secluded farmhouse where he was raised by his mother, June, there is so much he does not yet know. He doesn't know the extent of his mother's illness. He doesn't know the identity of his biological father or the elusive story of his mother's creatively intense, emotionally turbulent romance with Bob Dylan, whom Evan reveres as an artist and whom strangers have long insisted he resembles. He doesn't know what drove his mother to leave New York City for a completely different existence.
In this deeply moving debut novel, inspired by the author's own uncertain celebrity paternity, Sam Sussman writes one of the most tender and intimate mother-son relationships of our era. Caring for his mother as her condition worsens, and as she begins to tell him truths he has waited so long to hear, Evan comes to understand the startling gift this extraordinary woman has bequeathed him. Boy from the North Country is an emotionally searing meditation on the most essential human themes: loss, healing, memory and the redemptive power of love.
