Sinopsis:

The brilliant second novel by a new US literary star.

• Caroline, 27, walks out of a marriage and into an old people’s home where she meets cantankerous, lusty octogenarian Billy, who entrusts a secret to her. She goes from his deathbed to a wedding, where she is seduced by a beautiful man who tells her stories of her ex’s antics back home. Bright, buoyant Bonnie, meanwhile, installs herself as Caroline’s new best friend and accompanies her to a picnic that turns into a riot. When it is over, the world’s altered: for Caroline is no longer herself – she must flee being Caroline. We follow her long flight through trauma, fakery and captivity to redemption.
• Jim Lewis’s tale of how to measure love and its loss is a swooningly observant and atmospheric tale of rare resonance.
• Lewis writes about sex, ageing, identity and bereavement with such newness and rightness that his reader is struck dumb.
• Sister, Jim Lewis’s debut, was rightly celebrated; but Why the Tree Loves the Axe betters it and brings him briskly to the very front of the American literary stage.

Acerca del autor:

Jim Lewis is the author of two previous books, a novel Sister, and in collaboration with photographer Jack Pierson, a book about Las Vegas, Real Gone.
