'[We are] carried by Tinti's seductive prose. She has a deep feeling for the passage of time and its effect on character. And when it's appropriate, she can use her vivid language to express the ripping depth of human pain.'
The New York Times Book Review
A father protects his daughter from the legacy of his past – and the truth about her mother’s death.
After years spent living on the run, Samuel Hawley moves with his teenage daughter, Loo, to Olympus, Massachusetts. There, in his late wife’s hometown, Hawley finds work as a fisherman, while Loo struggles to fit in at school and grows curious about her mother’s mysterious death. Haunting them both are 12 scars Hawley carries on his body, from 12 bullets in his criminal past – a past that eventually spills over into his daughter’s present, until together they must face a reckoning yet to come.
This father-daughter epic weaves back and forth through time and across America, from Alaska to the Adirondacks. Both a coming-of-age novel and a literary thriller, The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley explores what it means to be a hero, and the cost we pay to protect the people we love most.
'Starring a fiercely loving, reluctant criminal and a girl of grit and wonder, Tinti has forged a breathtaking novel of violence and tenderness.'
Booklist
'Hannah Tinti's second novel doesn't disappoint ... Sensitive, coming-of-age literary novel meets Pulp Fiction and it all works? Yes, indeed!'
