An “intimate and epic” (Claire Lombardo, Same As It Ever Was) family drama wrapped in a missing-persons case, set during the historic Buffalo blizzard of ‘77

It’s 1977 and in the town of Oneira, New York, a blizzard is gathering force…

Harmon Pond, editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, is struggling to keep afloat amid mounting debt and vanishing ad revenue. So when the creditor who’s been secretly funding him vanishes without a trace, Harmon thinks it’s his lucky break. Meanwhile, his eldest daughter, Teresa—the paper’s ambitious intern—sees a story that could make her name.

But for Harmon’s devout Italian American wife, Pauline, the disappearance stirs up memories of a childhood she has tried hard to put behind her, and secrets she would prefer to keep buried.

With the parents tangled in their own concerns and Teresa relentlessly searching for answers, no one notices that middle-child Fran has developed a habit of sneaking out at night, and Lonnie, the youngest, is taking dangerous risks of his own.

As the manhunt intensifies, and the snowstorm builds into one of the worst in history, the Pond family must find a way to accept the truth, and each other, before they lose themselves forever.

In a dazzling debut that Rumaan Alam calls "gripping (and funny) and beautifully written,” Record Lows announces CJ Green as a thrilling new American voice. Fiction Littérature et fiction Thrillers et romans à suspense Vie de famille

Commentaires

“Record Lows is a slippery, mercurial thing—first a family novel, then a crime story, then an increasingly antic thriller, all while also being a thoughtful literary work about morality and faith, and the bonds between spouses and the different but no less powerful ties between parent and child. It’s a work both gripping (and funny) and beautifully written; an incredible accomplishment, the debut of an exciting new writer.”—Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World Behind and Entitlement
“Record Lows is a literary page-turner about a murder wrapped in a family story, equal parts heartwarming, pulse-pounding, and emotionally resonant. CJ Green is a writer with immense promise, and this is an absolutely terrific debut.”—Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner award-winning author of The Great Man and Welcome Home, Stranger
“Fresh, clever and often wickedly funny, CJ Green’s literary debut, Record Lows, set during the Buffalo blizzard of 1977, reads like a snowplow through the expected as it inexorably uncovers one family's secrets and ‘record lows’ from under the deep freeze.”—Miranda Cowley Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace
“Record Lows is a new Great American Novel. It’s the story of one upstate New York family during the worst blizzard in a generation — and without giving anything else away, I can promise you’ll be blown away by its propulsive plot and exquisite writing. This book is a marvel.” —Elin Hilderbrand, #1 bestselling author of The Perfect Couple
“CJ Green has crafted a storm both meteorological and emotional…It’s a story about the secrets we keep even from those closest to us—especially those closest to us—and what happens when those secrets are explosively revealed.”—Nathan Hill, New York Times bestselling author of Wellness
“On page after page CJ Green proves he is entirely his ineffable, remarkable self but Record Lows reminds me in the best way of Paul Murray’s The Bee Sting. Green has the same exuberant grasp of character, the same awareness that everyone has a past and that luck is a goddess not easily appeased. As the snow falls on Oneira, he writes with warmth, wit and intimacy about the the Pond family and their mysterious connections, past and present, to the local police force. A dazzling and delightful debut.”—Margot Livesey, New York Times bestselling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy
“CJ Green is a writer of such wisdom, wit, and compassion, and Record Lows is a pure delight—it's at once intimate and epic, affecting and very funny, and compulsively readable from start to finish.”—Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling author of Same As It Ever Was
