Items related to Northline
Fleeing Las Vegas and her abusive boyfriend, Allison Johnson moves to Reno, intent on making a new life for herself. But haunted by the mistakes of her past, and lacking any self-belief, her only comfort seems to come from the imaginary conversations she has with her hero, Paul Newman. But, as life crawls on and she finds work, small acts of kindness do start to reveal themselves and slowly the chance of a new life begins to emerge. Full of memorable characters and imbued with a beautiful sense of yearning, Northline is an extraordinary portrait of small-town America and an emotional tour de force from an author praised for his 'compassion and warmth' (The Times).

Review:
'The American novel that i've been hoping to find [it] shines with naked honesty and unsentimental humanity.'
-- George Pelecanos
The Motel Life was staggeringly good ... He now follows it with the equally brilliant Northline ... a heartbreaking trip. --Uncut
The cool clarity of Vlautin's simple prose, perfectly listened-to dialogue and unsentimental realism hold reader gloom at bay. The accompanying CD is a discreet sequence of instrumentals. All round Willy Vlautin is becoming one of America's most fundamental artists in words and music. --Mojo
This is a heartfelt novel ... there is a tenderness of execution ... comes with a low-key alt country CD, a perfect accompaniment. --Financial Times
