One of Americas greatest storytellers.Jonathan EvisonThe acclaimed Willy Vlautin returns with a heartbreaking and tender novel about two young brothers, the vicissitudes of fate, and unexpected connectiona beautiful and bittersweet portrait that illuminates the power of friendship and how it can save lives in multiple ways.Eddie Wilkens is a workaholic house painter in his early forties. His wife has left him to her regret, and his main employee, Houston, is a loafer and scoundrel who barely shows up for work. Unassuming and selfreliant, Eddie is thoughtful man who rarely gets angry, despite lifes frequent provocations, but he is ruled by a guilt that he has carried for nearly twenty years.Next door, a woman and her two sons move in with her frail and aging mother. The youngest boy, Russell, eightyearsold, is quiet and small for his age and lives in constant terror of his increasingly lost and troubled fifteenyearold brother, Curtis. As their mother struggles to keep the family together and the grandmothers health begins to faulter they find themselves unable to protect Russell and themselves from Curtiss cruelty, which threatens to explode in frenetic violence.Though neither knows it, Russell and Eddie will become each others saving grace.While Russells home life disintegrates he begins waiting in Eddies backyard for him to get off work. Eddie offers the boy small acts of kindness: he feeds him, gives him jobs to do, listens to his dreams of escape, and offers Russell a glimpse into a world of hope and humor. A world of misfit painters, a derelict muscle car, an old dog, and the comradery and companionship of Eddie and his crew. In return, Russell gives Eddie a reason to carry on and helps him lay to rest the guilt that has plagued him for half of his life.Together, this makeshift father and son begin to build better life, daring to trade the bleakness and cynicism around them for hope and friendship.From a writer revered for his thoughtful and compassionate portrayal of realistic American life, The Left and the Lucky is a heartbreakingly honest examination of how circumstance shapes our lives, and how the luck of finding someone who needs us can transcend bitter loneliness and prevent us from giving up on dreaming of a better life.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed with 'The Left and the Lucky.' The story took a while to really grab me, and I felt the ending was a bit rushed. Maybe it's just not my style.

Came with a Scratch on the Cover
The story in 'The Left and the Lucky' was good, but I was disappointed that my copy arrived with a scratch on the cover. It made it less enjoyable for me. The delivery could've been better.
