Women's Fiction Family Life
A disenchanted husband and wife. One reckless move. With a little luck, a tank full of gas, and an unexpected accomplice, they’ll go far in this funny and exhilarating novel about friendship, redemption, and reinvention on the run. Tina and Markus Michel are an unexceptional couple with a mountain of debt and dead—end jobs. Until Markus impulsively robs a gas station (with a toy gun) and goes on the lam with a blindsided Tina and an accidental octogenarian hostage, Oskar Krauss. But Oskar is far from the frail nursing home resident he’s portrayed as in the media. In fact, the spry and shrewd ex–petty criminal is in his element again, helping the anxious, middle—aged Bonnie and Clyde navigate an escape plan that turns a not—so—run—of—the—mill day absurdly on its head. The world is watching. The police give chase. And with every mile and exhilarating new day, Tina and Markus realize that leaving the conventional life behind for the thrilling unknown could be the best thing that ever happened. As for Oskar, he has a destination and a lost love in mind—and surprises in store as a cross—country getaway becomes the adventure of a lifetime.
