Andre Dubus III’s first novel in a decade is a masterpiece of thrilling tension and heartrending empathy.

Few writers can enter their characters so completely or evoke their lives as viscerally as Andre Dubus III. In this deeply compelling new novel, a father, estranged for the worst of reasons, is driven to seek out the daughter he has not seen in decades.

Daniel Ahearn lives a quiet, solitary existence in a seaside New England town. Forty years ago, following a shocking act of impulsive violence on his part, his daughter, Susan, was ripped from his arms by police. Now in her forties, Susan still suffers from the trauma of a night she doesn’t remember, as she struggles to feel settled, to love a man and create something that lasts. Lois, her maternal grandmother who raised her, tries to find peace in her antique shop in a quaint Florida town but cannot escape her own anger, bitterness, and fear.

Cathartic, affirming, and steeped in the empathy and precise observations of character for which Dubus is celebrated, Gone So Long explores how the wounds of the past afflict the people we become, and probes the limits of recovery and absolution.

Review:
An Amazon Best Book of October 2018:: It’s been about a decade since Andre Dubus III has produced a novel. Few writers are able to enter their characters in such a profound way, and Gone So Long is a stunning example of empathy and emotional resonance—a book that was well worth the wait. Forty years ago, Daniel Ahearn committed a violent act that changed the lives of many, including members of his own family. Now sick, he is setting out to set things as right as he can. He is especially set on visiting his estranged daughter, whom he has not seen in decades. But she is focused on moving forward, and there are others in her life who will not welcome Ahearn back. This is a novel that runs deep, exploring a scarred family, and examining how one swift act of passion can vibrate for years through the substance of our lives. Is true forgiveness ever possible? Is redemption possible? --Chris Schluep, for the Amazon Book Review
