“A sweeping, multi-generational novel that feels both intimate and vast. Claire Monet’s finest achievement.”
— The New Yorker
All Over Mountains
Spanning three generations of the same family, All Over Mountains traces the quiet migrations of love and regret from the hills of Appalachia to the streets of Brooklyn. When the youngest daughter returns home to care for her ailing grandmother, the stories she uncovers force every generation to confront what they have carried—and what they are willing to set down. A sweeping yet intimate novel about the places we leave and the people we become.
