The Booklyners will be reading Amy Bloom's Away this month. This New York Times Bestseller has been named Best Book of the year by numerous publications and is rumored to be an enthralling read. The novel opens on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1924. It tells the story of Lilllian Leyb, a Russian immigrant, who eventually sets out across America, up the Alaskan frontier, and I'm guessing across the Bering Strait in a quest to find her lost daughter. It seemed like an enjoyable and inspiring summer read; a road trip story of sorts with a lush and breezy sensibility.
