For fans of J. Courtney Sullivan, Meg Wolitzer, Claire
Messud, and Emma Straub, a gorgeous and absorbing novel of a
trio of confused souls struggling to find themselves and the
way forward in their lives, set against the spectacular
backdrop of contemporary New York City. Set in the
most magical parts of Manhattan—the Upper West Side, Central
Park, Greenwich Village—The Ramblers explores the
lives of three lost souls, bound together by friendship and
family. During the course of one fateful Thanksgiving week,
a time when emotions run high and being with family can be a
mixed blessing, Rowley’s sharply defined characters explore
the moments when decisions are deliberately made, choices
accepted, and pasts reconciled. Clio Marsh, whose
bird-watching walks through Central Park are mentioned in
New York Magazine, is taking her first tentative
steps towards a relationship while also looking back to the
secrets of her broken childhood. Her best friend, Smith
Anderson, the seemingly-perfect daughter of one of New
York’s wealthiest families, organizes the lives of others as
her own has fallen apart. And Tate Pennington has returned
to the city, heartbroken but determined to move ahead with
his artistic dreams. Rambling through the emotional
chaos of their lives, this trio learns to let go of the
past, to make room for the future and the uncertainty and
promise that it holds. The Ramblers is a love
letter to New York City—an accomplished, sumptuous novel
about fate, loss, hope, birds, friendship, love, the wonders
of the natural world and the mysteries of the human spirit.
