Underburn A Novel

""A quirky family story told with wit and wisdom, with shades of Anne Tyler or Elizabeth Strout... a fine debut."" — Kirkus Reviews “A promising debut”—Publisher’s Weekly ""A wonderfully engaging tale of both family and the underside of fame, Bill Gaythwaite’s debut novel Underburn mirrors the deceptive richness of the very generational ties it so charmingly explores: the long memories, conflicts big and small, surprisingly pivotal moments, and rediscovered bonds. One rarely encounters characters drawn with such candor, warmth, and humanity: you will gladly cheer and care for everyone as they seek to make peace with the past, while risking it all for a brand-new future.""—Natalie Jenner, author of the international bestseller The Jane Austen Society ""A poignant, funny, and timely family drama following the often-twisted paths we navigate toward understanding, reconciliation, and forgiveness.""—Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men “A witty, heartfelt novel with endearing, imperfect characters who are impossible to resist, a deft examination of a family in flux.”—Kristyn Kusek Lewis, Contributing Books Editor, Real Simple ""In Underburn, Bill Gaythwaite gives us a mindful and compelling account of a family navigating the distances between generations—and coasts. An engaging and elegantly written novel.""—David Leavitt, author of Shelter in Place -- Kirkus Reviews
