Book Description:
Having lived a life of self-imposed isolation, William suddenly finds himself on a road trip to Mexico with a woman whose life becomes intertwined with his.
Forging an unlikely friendship, they must learn to navigate the dangers and chaos of their adventure while confronting ghosts from the past.
The Last Line of a Goat Song is poetic and poignant, with characters full of longing, pain, and a desire to be seen, if not for who they are, then who they want to be. This is a riveting story of an unlikely friendship. A remarkable novel.
—Edan Lepucki best selling author of California and Girl No. 17
Excerpt:
“I’m leaving Monster.” Maggie said. She lit a cigarette that William
didn’t know she possessed.
William put down his journal. He looked over at her with a raised
eyebrow,
“I’m done with him.”
She loved men like a tourist, William understood. She saw the best in
them, was fascinated by their history and etymology, took tours and learned the
topography, the geography. Then she left after three days, or a week, or maybe
three months. She took pictures, she bought postcards, but she always left.
“He has a problem with drugs. I deserve something more than that.”
About the Author:
