THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY

Three distinguished narrators tell this cross-country adventure tale by the celebrated author Amor Towles. Billy Watson, a precocious 8-year-old, portrayed by Edoardo Ballerini, dreams of traveling to California on America’s first transcontinental roadway, the Lincoln Highway. After his brother is released from reform school, they hit the road, but life takes more turns than any roadway ever could, and the two Nebraska farm boys begin a series of adventures involving sundry characters, each with a distinctive, well-executed voice. Award-winning narrators Dion Graham and Marin Ireland also bring to life the assorted figures who make an impact in this story. This picaresque novel drags at times but immerses the listener in a uniquely moving world. D.L.G. 2022 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
