Ohio

"The sprawling, angry debut novel from Stephen Markley follows four high school acquaintances who return to their Midwestern hometown of New Canaan on the same day for very different reasons. Markley deftly addresses issues such as war, PTSD and sexual assault in this book that races toward a horrifying conclusion – it’s a beautiful novel that explores the aftermath of the Great Recession and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the tenuous bonds that hold people together at their best and at their worst."

""Ohio," by Stephen Markley, is a book that has stayed with me ever since I put it down."
