THE NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER

''The mirror image of Eggers''s brilliantly dystopian The Circle... [A] state of the nation novel, cleansing the spirit and lifting the heart'' Guardian

A hilarious and heart-warming misadventure through modern America: it''s time for the family vacation...

Josie''s life is falling apart - lawsuits raining down, her business down the drain and a feckless husband long gone - so she gathers up her two kids and lights out for the wilderness. The Alaskan wilderness, to be specific.

It involves one battered old RV, one highly sensitive eight year old boy, one fearless and hyperactive five year old girl, several forest fires, a large supply of pinot noir, and a deeply misguided sense of optimism. It may well be that things don''t turn out quite as Josie expected - but then again, some of the best places in the world are found at the end of a
