An Observer presents the top 10 debut novels of 2021, featuring captivating stories of young love on the run. Highway Blue, written by Rosie Price, takes readers on a dark and shimmering journey deep into modern America. The novel captivates readers with its hypnotic narrative, reminiscent of a blues song or incantation. Olivia Sudjic, author of Asylum Road, praises Highway Blue for its ability to hold readers captive, comparing it to a captivating blues song.
Anne Marie, the protagonist, is adrift in San Padua, living a precarious life of shift work and shared apartments. Her husband, Cal, left her on their first anniversary, and two years later, she struggles to move on. When Cal unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep, clearly in trouble, Anne Marie reluctantly agrees to a drink. However, their night takes a dangerous turn when a gun goes off in an alley near the shore. Fleeing together, they cram into a beat-up car, carrying their broken past. Their ill-at-ease odyssey takes them across a shimmering American landscape, exposing the darker seams of the country. Their journey leads them towards a city that may or may not offer salvation.
Highway Blue is a profound exploration of loss and finding, love in all its forms, and the pursuit of love as a form of redemption. Early readers have expressed their love for the novel, with many calling it one of the best books of the year. The author's writing is praised for its thorough engrossment and wonderfully written characters. Readers are eagerly anticipating future works from this talented author.
