Description
Charlotte Emory's life has become a dull routine. Her marriage is failing, and she feels trapped in her mundane daily existence. When she withdraws enough money from the bank to escape, she expects a simple getaway. However, her plans take an unexpected turn when a young bank robber takes her hostage. As they flee together in a stolen car, Charlotte's life becomes a chaotic adventure. She is forced to confront the choices she has made and the person she has become. With no clear destination in mind, they head south towards Florida, leaving their past behind. This novel by Anne Tyler explores the complexities of human relationships and the search for meaning in everyday life.
