Aprašymas

An “intimate and epic” (Claire Lombardo, Same As It Ever Was) family drama wrapped in a missing-persons case, set during the historic Buffalo blizzard of ‘77

It’s 1977 and in the town of Oneira, New York, a blizzard is gathering force…

Harmon Pond, editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, is struggling to keep afloat amid mounting debt and vanishing ad revenue. So when the creditor who’s been secretly funding him vanishes without a trace, Harmon thinks it’s his lucky break. Meanwhile, his eldest daughter, Teresa—the paper’s ambitious intern—sees a story that could make her name.

But for Harmon’s devout Italian American wife, Pauline, the disappearance stirs up memories of a childhood she has tried hard to put behind her, and secrets she would prefer to keep buried.

With the parents tangled in their own concerns and Teresa relentlessly searching for answers, no one notices that middle-child Fran has developed a habit of sneaking out at night, and Lonnie, the youngest, is taking dangerous risks of his own.

As the manhunt intensifies, and the snowstorm builds into one of the worst in history, the Pond family must find a way to accept the truth, and each other, before they lose themselves forever.

In a dazzling debut that Rumaan Alam calls "gripping (and funny) and beautifully written,” Record Lows announces CJ Green as a thrilling new American voice.
