"This year, fiction reigned, with emerging and established authors telling stories of struggle, daring, and redemption," said Sarah Gelman, Editorial Director of Amazon Books. "We all had our personal favorites this year, but the one book the team unanimously agreed on was Amor Towles' The Lincoln Highway—we just couldn't stop talking about it. The four main characters' sense of innocence felt like the hope we needed as we end this year."
The Lincoln Highway resonates with readers, too. The quote most often highlighted by Kindle readers is, "For what is kindness but the performance of an act that is both beneficial to another and unrequired?"
"It's a real honor to have The Lincoln Highway singled out by the team at #amazon," said Towles. "I can only hope that their confidence in the book is matched by the enjoyment of readers who join Emmett, Billy, Duchess, and Woolly on their fateful journey."
