A hurricane is about to hit New York City and Edward Bradington IV has (probably) just been dumped by his boyfriend. He could use a holiday. But with planes grounded and duties to attend to, he decides to drive across the country to his family estate. Accompanied by a photo of his Grams and Gramps and a heart heavy with loss, Edward embarks on a journey into the heart of America. Stopping at roadside bars, diners, and even the grave of the Kentucky Colonel, he will find that - thankfully - journeys home rarely go as planned. Alaric Mark Lewis's debut is an unforgettable epic. Bradington Bay is Homeric in scope, suffused with the adventurous energy of Jack Kerouac, and the heart of James Baldwin.

An unforgettable debut from a natural storyteller.
