The Road Between Us
About this book
Longlisted for the 2025 Giller Prize
As binge-worthy as a miniseries, this lover's knot of a novel delves into the entangled lives of its ensemble cast.
Estela struggles in her relationships and in her professional life due to the loss of her brother at a young age. Ash, Estela’s estranged best friend, loves Estela unrequitedly and must come to terms with being bisexual in the context of his traditional Indian immigrant family. Ophélie works through PTSD and the emotionally abusive romantic relationship she was in as a teen. Roman is an academic whose pain post-divorce leads him to seek out younger women—his students—in the #MeToo era.
In her signature spare, poetic style, Bindu Suresh unfurls their lives and the relationships that drive them together and tear them apart. Travelling from Montreal to Ottawa to Toronto – and as far as New York, Beijing, and Buenos Aires – and spanning the first two decades of the twenty-first century, The Road Between Us is an episodic novel that explores why we make the decisions we do and the effects those decisions have on the people we love.
