From Keith Scribner, author of The Oregon Experiment, comes the story of a father’s return to his childhood home, the site of unspeakable tragedy, and of the complex and often warring obligations – not least forgiveness – we have to our family, our friends, and our past. Moving, insightful, and suspenseful, Scribner’s new novel, Old Newgate Road (Knopf), is a masterful portrait of a haunted family and successive generations of men struggling against all odds and often violent impulses to truly know one another and their loved ones, and to somehow come to terms with themselves.
