“A multilayered and richly evocative portrait of a dying New Hampshire mill town, told through the voices of intertwined families during the 20th century... ‘Live Free or Die’ is the New Hampshire state motto, but no one in Ashland is ever completely free from their origins, whether they leave or stay.Powerfully poetic, this novel serves as a cross section of the Granite State, a testament to American virtues—and flaws.”
