In 1965, a mentally challenged young man from a dilapidated amusement park is found dead on a riverbank. His loss triggers a series of events that, by end of summer, will lead to the murder of another carnie from the park. The police chief finds himself torn between duty and conscience. Losing August is a coming-of-age story for four local kids as well as Edgewater, the small Lake Michigan town they call home.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In 1965, a man is found dead in a river, triggering a series of events that, by end of summer, will lead to a murder. Three teenage boys and their younger sisters have an altercation with two carnies from a dilapidated amusement park in a small Lake Michigan town. One of the carnies is found dead in the river the next day. When the second carnie is found with his throat slit, the police chief is forced to look next-door to his neighbor's son, one of the boys from the fight. Intertwined with the main plot of the book, are character studies of two people coming to terms with unfulfilled expectations of parenthood. Women tend kids while men go to work. Kids old enough to be out and about live untethered lives with unpredictable consequences. Men silently carry the burden of war. Losing August is a coming-of-age story not only for these kids, but for the fictional town of Edgewater. Resting on the shores of Lake Michigan, the once-bustling town is trying to come to terms with what it has become. Edgewater is as much a character as the protagonist, with an arc of its own. This heartfelt, character-driven narrative explores the underpinnings of flawed people twenty years after the second World War. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798989359424
