Why it is on our radar

Sullivan uses an absent lottery winner to expose an entire town’s wants and inequalities. Readers of Maine and The Cliffs get another community novel in which money changes relationships before anyone has actually received it.

About the book

A general store sells a winning lottery ticket worth twenty million dollars, but nobody comes forward to claim it. Megan Delaney and her neighbors speculate about the buyer as old grievances, financial pressures and competing hopes turn the unclaimed fortune into a force that divides their seaside community.
