National Bestseller

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Holland and directed by the Russo Brothers. A young medic returns from deployment in Iraq to two things: the woman he loves, and the opioid crisis sweeping across the Midwest.

In this “miracle of literary serendipity” (The Washington Post), after finding himself deep in the thrall of heroin addiction, the soldier arrives at what seems like the only logical solution: robbing banks.

Written by a singularly talented, wildly imaginative debut novelist, Cherry is a bracingly funny and unexpectedly tender work of fiction straight from the dark heart of America.

I first learned about Nico Walker in the NYT Review of Books. This young man's personal story was so compelling that I jotted the title of his book down on my reading list right away. I'm glad I saw that audible had already recorded it before I purchased it in hard copy because Jeremy Bobb absolutely blew my mind reading this book to me. Between Nico's brutal rendering of what he assures us are events that never happened and people who never existed and Jeremy's tough but tender portrayal of the narrator and main protagonist in this story of a lost soul gone to war and then to hell and back was moving and heartbreaking and funny all at the same time. This book will make you think and feel differently about the costs that our young men and women are paying for the rest of us to turn our faces away from the endless conflicts we send them into.

The story opens by emphasizing that the characters & the story were not based on true events. However, I find it hard to believe, in this gritty story of war, love & addiction, that the author hadn't actually lived the part of the protagonist. Jeremy Bobb's excellent performance makes the fictional novel come across as a autobiography!
