So Long, See You Tomorrow
by William Maxwell

This novel is richer and deeper than its short length might suggest. The story is about the way in which a murder and the events surrounding it affect two boys in rural Illinois during the 1920s. However, the book is about so much more than that: loss, regret, the attempt and failure to understand another person. Maxwell's simple yet evocative prose perfectly fits both the story and its themes.
