Book Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls returns to North Bath, the Rust Belt town first brought to unforgettable life in Nobody’s Fool. • "Irresistible.... Very funny.... A joy." —The New York Times

Now, ten years later, Doug Raymer has become the chief of police and is tormented by the improbable death of his wife—not to mention his suspicion that he was a failure of a husband. Meanwhile, the irrepressible Sully has come into a small fortune, but is suddenly faced with a VA cardiologist’s estimate that he only has a year or two left to live.

As Sully frantically works to keep the bad news from the important people in his life, we are reunited with his son and grandson . . . with Ruth, the married woman with whom he carried on for years . . . and with the hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren’t still best friends. Filled with humor, heart, and hard-luck characters you can’t help but love, Everybody’s Fool is a crowning achievement from one of the great storytellers of our time.

Look for Nobody's Fool, available now, and Somebody’s Fool, coming soon.

    This book was amazing as a stand-alone piece. You don’t need to have read Nobody’s Fool - in fact it’s probably better having not. Loved it as a solo novel!

    Disappointing. Fun to revisit the characters but far too wordy.

    Wanted to love this book. Really bogged down in the middle. Many of the events were beyond the realm of possibility even for a small town. Way too many words of description used for unimportant aspects of minor characters. It was a slog to the finish.
