Bath, NH – The Bath Public Library Book Club will meet on Monday, June 8, at 5:00 PM at the Bath Public Library to discuss The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles.

In June 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska from the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden’s car. These two have hatched an altogether different plan that will take them all on a road trip journey in the opposite direction, to New York City.
Spanning just ten days and told from multiple perspectives, Towles’s third novel will satisfy fans who enjoyed his first novel, A Gentleman from Moscow.

Copies of the book are available to borrow at the Bath Public Library. Patrons are encouraged to pick up a copy and participate in what promises to be a thoughtful and engaging discussion. New members are always welcome.

Library hours are Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Thursday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
