    "Bowring offers endless, rich details about life in Dalton, making a satisfying story of each chapter, expanding the emotional history of the place, yielding great depths of pain behind small, daily gestures of human connection... An impressive debut bursting with detail and love for the town it brings to life."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An unexpected death touches everyone, a plot point that Bowring confidently steers away from melodrama, landing instead on poignant realism. Readers will want to take their time with this one."--Publishers Weekly "Paved with beauty, grace, humility, and love...a triumphant work that reminds us what literature should be."--Morgan Talty, author of Night of the Living Rez "The kind of book that too often flies under the literary radar these days: measured, wise, beautiful."--Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls "Over and over, The Road to Dalton locates the miraculous in the mundane, then holds it up, glimmering, for the reader to see. In the end it reminds us that, no matter our circumstances, each of us is imbued with a dignity that cannot be denied or taken from us."--Ron Currie, Jr., author of Everything Matters and The One-Eyed Man "In wise, tender, sharp-eyed prose, Shannon Bowring illuminates the interlocking lives of rural Mainers in her stunning debut.

Bowring is an immensely talented writer to watch."--Aaron Hamburger, author of Hotel Cuba and Nirvana Is Here "A gentle and poignant portrait of small-town life in Maine--and of the spoken and unspoken truths that make a community.

That's how powerful her writing is."--Zachary Houle, Medium "Impressive for its careful, comprehensive portrait of memory, love, grief, and community, The Road to Dalton encourages acceptance of its flawed characters."--The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide "The Road to Dalton is a book to sink into, and invites you to stay a while rather than rushing toward the road out."--Ilana Masad, Portland Press Herald "The Road to Dalton is an auspicious debut.

But make no mistake. Beneath its smooth surface there lurks a gripping story and people worth caring about precisely because their joys and sorrows are so intensely private. It takes a gifted writer like Shannon Bowring to pierce the veil of that privacy and reveal both them and ourselves."-- Richard Russo , Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls , Nobody's Fool , Chances Are "Like all great novels, this book is actually about much more than its subject. It has essential things to show us about the human experience: how we shape and are shaped by our landscapes, how love persists in the face of great aridity and pain, how we strive to know one another though we never really can.

    Synopsis
    A NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR From debut author Shannon Bowring comes a novel of small town America that Pulitzer-winner Richard Russo calls, "measured, wise, and beautiful." In most small towns, the private is also public. In the town of Dalton, one local makes an unthinkable decision that leaves the community reeling. In the aftermath, their problems, both small and large, reveal a deeper understanding of the lives of their neighbors, and remind us all that no one is exactly who we think they are. It's 1990. In Dalton, Maine, life goes on. Rose goes to work at the diner every day, her bruises hidden from both the customers and her two young boys. At a table she waits, Dr. Richard Haskell looks back on the one choice that's charted his entire life, before his thoughts wander back to his wife, Trudy, and her best friend. Trudy and Bev have been friends for longer than they can count, and something more than lovers to each other for some time now--a fact both accepted and ignored by their husbands. Across town, new mother Bridget lives with her high school sweetheart Nate, and is struggling with postpartum after a traumatic birth. And nearer still is teenager Greg, trying to define the complicated feelings he has about himself and his two close friends. The Road to Dalton offers valuable understandings of what it means to be alive in the world--of pain and joy, conflict and love, and the endurance that comes from living., "Bowring offers endless, rich details about life in Dalton, making a satisfying story of each chapter, expanding the emotional history of the place, yielding great depths of pain behind small, daily gestures of human connection...An impressive debut bursting with detail and love for the town it brings to life." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A luminous new novel of small-town America, The Road to Dalton offers valuable understandings of what it means to be alive in the world: of pain and joy, conict and love, and the endurance that comes from living. In the Final weeks of 1989, a fender-bender breaks the silence on an icy dark road outside Dalton, Maine, setting in motion events that will ripple throughout the town in ways no one can foresee. When the consequences of the accident play out, the community is left reeling-lives are left bare, and we are reminded that no one is precisely who we think they are. "Readers will get swept away...and will wish that Bowring isn't done with Dalton and a sequel may be in the works. That's how powerful her writing is." Zachary Houle, Medium "An auspicious debut. Shannon Bowring is operating in Richard Russo and Anne Tyler territory." Bill Wolfe, Read Her Like an Open Book "The Road to Dalton locates the miraculous in the mundane, then holds it up, glimmering, for the reader to see." Ron Currie, Jr., author of Everything Matters!

        It’s a book that was reviewed on our local MPR station recently and being a Mainer, I thought I’d try it. The price was reasonable, it was packed well and arrived quickly. Just in time for a summer read. Book is in perfect condition, was packed well and arrived quickly. Very pleased to have it for fall reading!
