Ten Thousand Saints: A Novel

Ten Thousand Saints is a sweeping, multigenerational drama that triumphantly heralds the arrival of a remarkable new writer.

Set against the raw, roaring New York City during the late 1980s, this heart-aching tale follows the son of diehard hippies as he navigates through the extremes of late 20th century youth culture.

With elements of coming of age, adoption, teen pregnancy, drugs, hardcore punk rock, and unbridled optimism and reckless stupidity, this novel is a truly stunning debut that joins the ranks of The Emperor’s Children by Claire Messud and Jonathan Lethem’s The Fortress of Solitude.

Capturing the experience of coming-of-age in the turbulent and exciting era of the 1980s, Ten Thousand Saints is a must-read for anyone looking for a gripping and thought-provoking novel that will leave you breathless.
