'This unusual little gem of a book is part comic romp and part nail-biting thriller ... Castle Freeman writes with both wit and a deep understanding of the human psyche, and [he] does not cheat us out of a dramatic climax' -- Guardian. 'Freeman evokes a grimly lyrical tension ... [the] punchy narrative has a mythic dimension yet also incorporates pulp fiction, pop culture references, eccentric humour and memorable characters' --Metro.
'The beauty of this book is in the slow crafting of the story ... It s a domestic sort of 'Deliverance' ... This is a finely written book that only gradually becomes a thriller, and all the while it is essaying something that we may have, indeed, lost forever. Freeman can muse, in a coda, about what this new world is like, but for the short ride of these 160 pages, he enthralls you with the old world. A small marvel' --Crimetime.co.uk. 'Lillian's a little pistol and her journey, narrated by a chorus of drunk hicks, is dripping with suspense' -- Monocle. 'Vividly captures the small-town mentalities portrayed in [The Coen Brothers films] Fargo and No Country for Old Men' --Crack.
'There is a clear moral arc to this storyline, and suspense too. But Go With Me is also a literary novel, with echoes of Deliverance and Cormac McCarthy' -- Wall Street Journal. 'Freeman has a flawless ear for dialogue and a sharp eye for quirky details ... Superb' -- People (Critic's Choice). 'An elegant little thriller about cunning versus cruelty... extremely funny... pure delight... streamlined storytelling, dead-on dialogue, and lyrical descriptions of the bleak, woodsy landscape. This is a meticulous New England miniature, with not a word wasted' -- O, The Oprah Magazine. 'A small masterpiece of black comedy and suspense about a trio of backwoods heroes who embark upon a modern-day quest ... If all novels were this good, Americans would read more' --Kirkus Reviews (starred).
Somewhere in backwoods Vermont, a young woman refuses to back down in the face of threats from a violent local villain. Her boyfriend has fled the state in fear, and local law enforcement can do nothing to protect her. And so she resolves not only to stand her ground, but also to fight back. A pair of unlikely allies Lester, a crafty old-timer, and Nate, built like a tractor and not much smarter - join her cause, willing to do whatever it takes. An eccentric Greek chorus of locals - wry, witty, sceptical, and not always entirely sober - keep a running commentary in the background as the threesome's quest reaches its terrifying conclusion.
