Conor Lyons is searching for his mother through his father's photos and through a road trip that follows their footsteps through Mexico, across America, and back to his birthplace of Ireland. His father, once a vibrant young photographer, is now an aging man approaching his end, and provides little more than his photographs for Conor to discover what happened to his mother. What Conor finds is not resolution, but certainly a sense of understanding.
This is beautifully written, and would make for an interesting book club selection.
