Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Russo's first standalone novel in a decade is a gripping story about the abiding yet complex power of friendship.
One beautiful September day, three 66-six-year-old men convene on Martha’s Vineyard, friends ever since meeting in college in the 1960s. They couldn’t have been more different then, or even today – Lincoln’s a commercial real estate broker, Teddy a tiny-press publisher and Mickey an ageing rocker. But each man holds his own secrets, in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever stopped puzzling over since 1971: the disappearance of their friend Jacy. Now, decades later, the distant past interrupts the present as the truth about what happened to Jacy finally emerges, forcing the men to reconsider everything they thought they knew about each other.
Shot through with Russo’s trademark comedy and humanity, Chances Are also introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the listener’s heartbeat throughout this absorbing saga of how friendship’s bonds are every bit as constricting and rewarding as those of family.
For both longtime fans and lucky newcomers, Chances Are is a stunning demonstration of a highly-acclaimed author deepening and expanding his remarkable body of work.
'Cleverly paced, Russo's latest novel folds page-turning suspense into an unhurried, warmly observed portrait of friendship in later life.'
Mail on Sunday
'Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo balances suspense with comedy in this gripping tale.'
TIME
'There's much to enjoy in Richard Russo's typically nuanced portrait of three childhood friends ... [a] fine-grained exploration of troubled, small-town masculinity ... Russo's prose is so quietly melodious you can almost hear it singing.'
