Buckeye

Beskrivelse

Set in the small town of Bonhomie, Ohio, Buckeye tells the story of two families bound by a secret that reshapes their lives across generations. It begins in May 1945, just as news of the Allied victory in Europe reaches the community.

A compelling tale of family secrets, love, and the search for redemption in post-war America.

Margaret Salt’s visit to a local hardware store to buy a radio sparks a chain of events that will forever alter the lives of both her and Cal Jenkins, the man behind the counter. As the nation rebuilds during the post-war boom, a hidden truth quietly grows in Bonhomie, reminding us that in small towns, nothing stays concealed for long.

The repercussions of that pivotal encounter ripple through time, intertwining the destinies of two families and forcing them to reconsider their identities and hopes for the future. Filled with warmth, wit, and heart, Buckeye paints a vivid picture of human resilience through the lens of a unique community.

This novel explores the winding paths toward forgiveness and redemption, and above all, it captures the universal desire for love and connection.

Praised by Tom Hanks as a novel that bridges generations affected by America’s wars, Buckeye is described by the Financial Times as a richly woven story of love amid tension and conflict, reminiscent of early John Irving and written in the spirit of Dickens.
