Reservation Road Book

First, the accident takes place

What happens in the opening pages of "Reservation Road" is an accident. "The Learners are returning from a concert to their home in upstate Connecticut when they stop at a local gas station. A speeding car suddenly careers around a bend, striking Josh, who is standing at the side of the road. He is killed instantly, but the car continues on its way as Josh's father, Ethan, tries, in vain, to give chase. The remainder of the novel is devoted to chronicling the emotional fallout of this awful accident on both the Learner family and on Dwight Arno, the hit-and-run driver responsible for Josh's death."

-- Michiko Kakutani, in this NYTimes Review from 1998
