Gone So Long: A Novel

An Amazon Best Book of October 2018:: It’s been about a decade since Andre Dubus III has produced a novel. Few writers are able to enter their characters in such a profound way, and Gone So Long is a stunning example of empathy and emotional resonance—a book that was well worth the wait. Forty years ago, Daniel Ahearn committed a violent act that changed the lives of many, including members of his own family. Now sick, he is setting out to set things as right as he can. He is especially set on visiting his estranged daughter, whom he has not seen in decades. But she is focused on moving forward, and there are others in her life who will not welcome Ahearn back. This is a novel that runs deep, exploring a scarred family, and examining how one swift act of passion can vibrate for years through the substance of our lives. Is true forgiveness ever possible? Is redemption possible? --Chris Schluep, for the Amazon Book Review
