Road Longer Than Memory

Bol

Sometimes the road home runs through everything you tried to forget After a failed relationship and an unsettled teaching career, Sara Barlow returns to her childhood home in Arlington, Virginia, hoping for a fresh start. But when she applies for a job at her old high school, a chance glimpse into the gymnasium shakes her to the core--she spots the man she suspects was involved in a classmate's violent death a decade earlier. Haunted by the past, Sara confronts the memories she's spent years trying to suppress: her sister Suzanne's fatal car crash, her secret summer with the reckless Devlin Barrie, and the anonymous 911 call she made after witnessing what she believes was a murder. As the construction of Interstate 66 physically fractures her community, Sara grapples with emotional fault lines of her own--guilt, silence, and buried truth. Set against the backdrop of suburban upheaval in the 1970s and '80s, Road Longer Than Memory is a compelling story of memory, reckoning, and the cost of what we leave unsaid. Perfect for fans of Tana French and William Kent Krueger
