Review of "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles

A beautiful gem of a book, with great characters, a clever narrative with twists, and a real feel for the era. It touches on a lot of the issues of the period, but not in a heavy-handed way. Race, traumatised and abandoned veterans, class...

Really lots of characters, all of who get turns at being either a first-person or close-third narrator (and it really matters which, as becomes clear), and that's clever too.

I was actually sad that the end had come, even though it's not a short book.
