Amazon.com description: Product Description:
ÂDuttonâs fiction debut is a stellar, thought-provoking novel about life, death, California, music, and more. . . . If youâve never been to California, you might feel like you have visited after reading this creative and unforgettable story. For connoisseurs of singular fiction.â ÂLibrary Journal, starred review
Los Angeles, California: Clem Jasper is a twenty-seven-year-old trust funder with a world-famous rock musician for a father. Unsure what do with her life, she spends her time just floating, a cynical observer of the Hollywood scene around her. But when her dad suddenly dies, Clem discovers heâs left her somethingÂa series of letters that take her on a strange and revelatory road trip across the iconic Californian terrain. Ignoring her auntâs suggestion to pitch the trip as a reality show, she embarks on her own to discover just what it was that her father meant her to findÂa secret he couldnât tell her until now.
With a voice reminiscent of Rainbow Rowell, Duttonâs Driftwood is a surprising, poignant, and funny debut. Dutton deftly captures the mythology of California with a bright and unusual take on the freedom of the open road, the power of music, and what it means, even in the midst of grief, to be a family.
Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionÂnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
