Propelled by an irresistible cast of characters, Buckeye is a warm, charming and emotionally affecting novel about two families whose lives are shaped by a fleeting moment of indiscretion
‘Poignant, powerful’ Independent
‘Omniscient, sweeping, almost defiantly sentimental’ New York Times
‘[A] luminous and tender 20th-century saga of wounded souls and small-town secrets’ Guardian
May, 1945. As news of the Allied victory in Europe reaches the small town of Bonhomie, Ohio, a woman named Margaret Salt walks into a hardware store and asks the man behind the counter, Cal Jenkins, for a radio. What happens next will change both of their lives forever.
While the country reconstructs in the post-war boom, a secret grows in Bonhomie – and nothing can remain hidden in a small town. The consequences of that long-ago encounter will intertwine the fates of two families, rippling through the next generation and compelling them to re-examine who they thought they were and what the future might hold.
Full of compassion, humour and charm, Buckeye is a dazzling portrait of the human spirit by way of one unforgettable community; the twisted roads we take to achieve forgiveness and redemption; and above all a universal longing for love and connection.
