Contemporary | Fiction Family Life
From the actor, director, and writer Ethan Hawke: a
piercing novel of love, marriage, and renewal.
Jimmy
is AWOL from the army, but—with characteristic fierceness
and terror—he’s about to embark on the biggest commitment of
his life. Christy is pregnant with Jimmy’s child, and she’s
determined to head home, with or without Jimmy, to face up
to her past and prepare for the future. Somehow, barreling
across America from Albany to New Orleans to Ohio and Texas
in a souped-up Chevy Nova, Christy and Jimmy are transformed
from passionate but conflicted lovers into a young family on
a magnificent journey.
Ash Wednesday is a
novel of blazing emotion and remarkable grace, a tale that
captures the intensity—the excitement, fear, and joy—of
being on the threshold of the mysterious country of marriage
and parenthood. Powerful, assured, large of heart, and
punctuated by moments of tremendous humor, it represents,
for Hawke the novelist, a major leap forward.
