Vier studievrienden zoeken samen hun weg in New York: de charmante acteur Willem, de excentrieke kunstenaar JB, de getalenteerde architect Malcolm en Jude St. Francis. Jude is teruggetrokken, slim en raadselachtig, en zijn vrienden weten beter dan vragen te stellen over zijn verleden. Ze proberen zijn pijn te verlichten, maar naarmate de decennia verstrijken dringt zich de vraag op of Jude wel verlost kan worden van de demonen uit zijn verleden.

Brilliantly written, some of the most complex characters and relationships I’ve ever read. All of our main characters are so alive. Unfortunately it was just too triggering for me, so I quit 400 pages in. I’m sure I’m missing something big, but I just can’t do it to myself
After several months listening to the 32 hours of this audiobook, with a story that spanned several decades, I feel I've been on a massive journey with all these characters, which was as beautiful as it was bleak. I've not read many books that explore male friendships in a way that go me thinking about my own, and often reminded me of the film Stand By Me.
I didn't know much about this book when I started listening to it, which perhaps was for the best as I didn't know how bleak it would become at times, and later a friend would tell me it has received much criticism for this. However, I feel very grateful for all the very tender and warm moments in the book, which were perhaps enhanced by the incredible narration from Oliver Wyman.
