Summary

From the best-selling author of The Circle comes a brilliant new black comedy about modern America.

A mother and her two young children rent a battered old RV (optimistically christened the Chateau) and embark upon a journey through the Alaskan wilderness. At first their trip feels like a vacation: they spot wild animals and build bonfires. But as they travel deeper into the forest, dodging wildfires and eccentric locals, we learn more of the events that forced them to escape their old lives in search of something redemptive out at the very edge of civilization.

Adventures of a small family in Alaska

An impulsive, constantly self-doubting mother travels with her two lovely little children through Alaska, looking for a new start in a quiet nice place to live, away from the complicated past and family. They have numberless little accidents and just as many unexpected happy turns, as they grow closer together and possibly learn not to be afraid of the past nor of the future.

If you love Dave Eggers, this will not disappoint.

I cannot tell you how much I loved this book. I will miss Josie and Ana and Paul now it is finished.
