The Push: A Novel of Leaving and Remembering (Rise Again Large Print)

Large Print Edition

A Novel of Leaving and Remembering

Frank Murray chose to keep going. That was how the first year ended — a decision, made quietly, at a kitchen table in Glace Bay. Now time has passed. The grief has settled into something he can carry. What has risen in its place is harder: the remembering.

When a young neighbour named Ryan walks up Frank’s driveway one March afternoon with a decision he hasn’t said out loud to anyone, Frank is pulled into a season of looking back — at who he was as a husband, as a father, as the man his daughters left behind. The remembering takes him places the grief never did. Some of what comes back is not the version of himself he wanted to meet again.

The Push is a novel about memory, family, and the slow work of seeing what you did when you still had the chance to do it differently.

Book Two of the Rise Again trilogy.

For readers of Plainsong by Kent Haruf, Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
