Jonathan Evison has crafted a novel of the heart, a novel of unlikely heroes traveling through a grand American landscape, and most of all, a story that offers a profound look into what it takes to truly care for another person. Bursting with energy and filled with moments of absolute beauty, this bighearted and inspired novel ponders life's terrible surprises as well as its immeasurable rewards.
Evison’s comic touch is surer than his melodramatic instincts, but he can be funny like nobody else, about things few other writers would risk laughing about.
While Caregiving often pulls toward farce, Evison is too kind to be cruel, and even his least likable characters benefit from his warmhearted generosity. His sharp humor ensures that when the story drifts too far the other way, resembling a greeting card, a few quick wisecracks often restore tonal balance.
