Reviews
"This is a shattering book, imagined with startling emotional precision and generosity. And though it begins in catastrophe, Reservation Road turns out to be a kind of map of connectedness: Touch a child here and the whole world trembles out of orbit; everyone bleeds; finally, perhaps, after great pain, everyone heals. John Burnham Schwartz is awfully young to own this much wisdom, but there it is, on every page." --Rosellen Brown "A powerful and affecting novel...haunting...highly suspenseful...compelling to read." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times "Spellbinding...a haunting tale" --Booklist "A poignant thriller...quietly breathtaking...a suspenseful literary novel" --Betsey Osborne, Vanity Fair "A pleasure to read. Suspense is redefined here..." --Sandra Scofield, Newsday "A lovely book, full of life and feeling" --Peter Matthiessen "One of those rare--very rare--novels that you don't so much read as inhabit...But it's the novel's conclusion, as perfect as it is sudden, shocking and completely unexpected, that will stick in your memory." --Tom Dehaven, Entertainment Weekly "A beautiful novel. An important novel" --David Bowman, New York Observer "Both a beautiful, wrenching story of redemption, and a novel of exquisite suspense" --Anne Lamott "A first-rate work of fiction disguised as a page-turning thriller" --David Halberstam "An unexpected pleasure...It will leave the reader entranced as well as moved." --Erica Noonan, Boston Herald "A non-stop read...a wonderful writer" --Ward Just "A triumph of form, pacing and power...character-driven as it is, it reads like a thrille, swift and complete." --Kit Reed, New York Times Book Review "It possesses a conclusion of such power that it would be a literary crime to reveal it." --Deirdre Donahue, USA Today From the Hardcover edition., "This is a shattering book, imagined with startling emotional precision and generosity.

Synopsis
A compulsively readable novel of feeling and suspense about two men and their families, and the hit-and-run death of a young boy.On an ordinary night in a quiet Connecticut town, the Learners stop at a gas station on their way home from a concert. Josh Learner, age 10, is standing at the side of the road when a car comes racing around the bend. Josh is hit and instantly killed. The car speeds away.The boy's father saw it happen. His eight-year-old sister believes it was her fault. His mother tries to keep herself -- and her family -- together. And as they slip into nightmare, the novel becomes a harrowing countdown to confrontation between the hit-and-run driver -- half running from his crime, half wanting to pay for it -- and Ethan Learner, in deadly pursuit of the unknown man who killed his son.Already hailed as "a nonstop read about people locked in a terrible embrace" (Ward Just) and a" first-rate work of fiction disguised as a page-turning thriller" (David Halberstam), Reservation Road is powerful, wrenching, impossible to put down.
