An award-winning writer makes her debut with this mesmerizing must-listen in the spirit of Everything I Never Told You and Olive Kitteridge.

Out for a hike one scorching afternoon in Sycamore, Arizona, a newcomer to town stumbles across what appear to be human remains embedded in the wall of a dry desert ravine. As news of the discovery makes its way around town, Sycamore's longtime residents fear the bones may belong to Jess Winters, the teenage girl who disappeared suddenly some 18 years earlier, an unsolved mystery that has soaked into the porous rock of the town and haunted it ever since. In the days it takes the authorities to make an identification, the residents rekindle stories, rumors, and recollections both painful and poignant as they revisit Jess' troubled history. In resurrecting the past, the people of Sycamore will find clarity, unexpected possibility, and a way forward for their lives.

Skillfully interweaving multiple points of view, Bryn Chancellor knowingly maps the bloodlines of a community and the indelible characters at its heart - most notably Jess Winters, a thoughtful, promising adolescent poised on the threshold of adulthood. Evocative and atmospheric, Sycamore is a coming-of-age story, a mystery, and a moving exploration of the elemental forces that drive human nature - desire, loneliness, grief, love, forgiveness, and hope - as witnessed through the inhabitants of one small Arizona town.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In this masterful performance, Bryn Chancellor explores the loss around which an entire community has calcified with humanity and wisdom. Chancellor digs deep in these pages, unearthing broken hearts, secrets, betrayals, passion and - most impressively - grace. What a joy to find a book that is both propulsive and perfectly composed." (Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, author of The Nest)

Beautifully written, a character-driven narrative that shifts between 1991 and 2009. The effect of an unsolved disappearance in a small community is told through the POV of several people. It is both heartbreaking and cathartic. A wonderful book.

Moving story, beautifully written

Gripping study of characters and their miscommunications or missed communications. Complex, probing, revealing how easily we can misconstrue a situation and react instead of listening.

Complex and thought-provoking

This is a good story, but there are so many unnecessary details and characters that it becomes bogged down. After the listener discovers what happened to Jess, the missing teenager, there is still an hour of narrative left. In that time, the lives of the long character list are wrapped up. The performance is great.

Good story but too drawn out

This book stands out among the many I listen to every week. Well told and unfolds as a story should - giving each character a full descriptive part. I hope we see more from this author

Excellent!

The story and characters were brilliant! Loved all the viewpoints and depth.

I had trouble keeping the characters voices separate, but that may have been my listening hapbits. Since I live in the novel's setting a few local words mispronouced stung. Setting: I was in the town of Clarkdale/Sycamore today and wished there had been a college. The town would have been a perfect setting for a small private college after the mining company left.

Perfect pacing...

Great characters, Although SO MANY of them. The ending is not what you expect, but is the right ending. Going to look for more by this author.

Wonderful read...

The story got good at the end (like, the last 10%). Before that, the writing was overwrought and dragged on. I think this may have been a book that would have been better not to listen to because the narration was...not my favorite. It was overly dramatic and I disliked how the accents were done. It took me months to get through this.

Ok story, disliked narration

Each chapter is told by a different character in the story. Some of the main characters have multiple narratives, but some of the chapters leave you wondering why their stories are included because it adds nothing to the plot line. I was interested in the story at first but quickly became bored by the meandering plot. The characters lost their appeal because there were too many to follow. I ended up listening to almost the entire novel because I was at least invested enough to find out the conclusion, however I sped up the narration and skipped chapters to get to the end. Overall just not a fan.

Too many characters, not enough progress
