In the country-noir tradition of Winter's Bone meets Breaking Bad, a savage and beautiful story of a young man seeking redemption.

The area surrounding Cashiers, North Carolina, is home to people of all kinds, but the world that Jacob McNeely lives in is crueler than most. His father runs a methodically organized meth ring, with local authorities on the dime to turn a blind eye to his dealings. Having dropped out of high school and cut himself off from his peers, Jacob has been working for this father for years, all on the promise that his payday will come eventually. The only joy he finds comes from reuniting with Maggie, his first love, and a girl clearly bound for bigger and better things than their hardscrabble town.

Jacob has always been resigned to play the cards that were dealt him, but when a fatal mistake changes everything, he's faced with a choice: stay and appease his father, or leave the mountains with the girl he loves. In a place where blood is thicker than water and hope takes a back seat to fate, Jacob wonders if he can muster the strength to rise above the only life he's ever known.

Reseñas editoriales

Editors Select, March 2015 - Where All Light Tends to Go was first described to me as Breaking Bad meets Winter's Bone. I was in the middle of binge-watching Walter White's journey at the time – and couldn't get enough – so had to start reading this book. David Joy's debut, about a young man trying to escape the cycle of violence passed on in his family, is beautifully written and truly haunting. It's dark, gritty, and not for the faint of heart. I can't help but think that Joy – who I'm told is a big fan of audio – will be just as excited as we are to have listener favorite MacLeod Andrews performing his work. Diana, Audible Editor

The narrator did a fantastic job but the book was shallow and kind of cliche. I'm really surprised that there are so many positive reviews. I wish there was more of a back story to Jacobs parents and more insight to his childhood that helped me to understand why they were the way they had become. The book was okay, not bad, not great. I only gave it three stars because of the narrator.

Bummer

I enjoyed the story well enough, but there's no question in my mind that Andrew's elevated Joy's work. Great stuff.

MacLeod Andrews put in a 5-star performance

Great debut novel of boy growing up in hill country with drug dysfunctional parents. Poetic language with beautiful descriptions offset the ugliness. Can't believe it took me so long to listen and look forward to more from this author. Right up there with Taylor Bown and John Hart.

Harsh but touching

I thought the narrator did a really good job, but I did not enjoy this book. Jacob's father was the most mean spirited vile bully. I was really hoping poor Jacob would catch a break and be able to escape from his sad life.

Dark and Depressing.
