Description

One night's terrible trauma echoes across 25 years for three siblings in this wise, wry, and riveting novel.

'When you add us up, you always have to carry the one.'

In the early hours of the morning, following a wedding reception, a car filled with stoned, drunk, and sleepy guests accidentally hits and kills a girl on a dark country road. For the next twenty-five years, the lives of those involved are subtly shaped by this tragic moment.

Through friendships and love affairs, marriage and divorce, parenthood, addiction, and the modest calamities and triumphs of ordinary days, Carry the One shows how one life affects another and how those who thrive and those who self-destruct are closer to each other than we'd expect.
