Reviews
Praise for The Fortunate Ones : "Ed Tarkington perfectly captures the heady, conflicted emotions that come with proximity to privilege -- both the irresistible longing and the heartbreaking disillusionment. I'm recommending The Fortunate Ones to every book club I know." -- Mary Laura Philpott, author of I Miss You When I Blink Praise for Only Love Can Break Your Heart : "A lush mystery-within-a-coming-of-age-tale-within-a-Southern-Gothic . . . Beautifully written." -- NPR Books "A pitch-perfect first novel." -- Chicago Tribune "Tarkington's writing is talky, devoid of flash, and calls to mind a young Pat Conroy . . . propulsion is its primary attribute. Not mere plot propulsion--though there's plenty of that, especially after the corpses turn up--but emotional propulsion: Tarkington's fidelity to period and place is matched by his fidelity to human contradictions, to the gray area between heroism and villainy in which most of us reside. The gothic elements add spice, but the protein in this assured debut--the part that sticks to your ribs--is the beautiful but ever-threatened connection between Rocky and Paul. Only Love Can Break Your Heart is a novel about brotherhood, most of all, about the delicate fortress of that bond." -- Garden & Gun "All good fiction is about blood, love or money . . . Tarkington has hit the trifecta with his soulful first novel." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Readers who can't get enough of Wiley Cash, Ron Rash, and Brian Panowich will delight in discovering this fine new writer." -- Library Journal (starred review), Praise for The Fortunate Ones : "There's a sharpness to Ed Tarkington's view of the world, an exacting truthfulness of how things work, but he marries it to such an open-hearted and resonant humanity in his writing that it's hard not to place him easily in the company of Pat Conroy and Alice McDermott. In The Fortunate Ones , Tarkington examines privilege and friendship with that same incredible perspective, and he helps us see the difficulties of trying to hold onto yourself even as you want so badly to be transformed. An amazing, thought-provoking novel by one of our most generous writers." -- Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here "Ed Tarkington perfectly captures the heady, conflicted emotions that come with proximity to privilege -- both the irresistible longing and the heartbreaking disillusionment. I'm recommending The Fortunate Ones to every book club I know." -- Mary Laura Philpott, author of I Miss You When I Blink Praise for Only Love Can Break Your Heart : "A lush mystery-within-a-coming-of-age-tale-within-a-Southern-Gothic . . . Beautifully written." -- NPR Books "A pitch-perfect first novel." -- Chicago Tribune "Tarkington's writing is talky, devoid of flash, and calls to mind a young Pat Conroy . . . propulsion is its primary attribute.

Synopsis
The perfect read for fans of The White Lotus or Succession "As a novelist, Tarkington is the real deal. I can't wait to see this story reach a wide audience." --Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife When Charlie Boykin was young, he thought his life with his single mother on the working-class side of Nashville was perfectly fine. But when his mother arranges for him to be admitted as a scholarship student to an elite private school, he is suddenly introduced to what the world can feel like to someone cushioned by money. That world, he discovers, is an almost irresistible place where one can bend--and break--rules and still end up untarnished. As he gets drawn into a friendship with a charismatic upperclassman, Archer Creigh, and an affluent family that treats him like an adopted son, Charlie quickly adapts to life in the upper echelons of Nashville society. Under their charming and alcohol-soaked spell, how can he not relax and enjoy it all--the lack of anxiety over money, the easy summers spent poolside at perfectly appointed mansions, the lavish parties, the freedom to make mistakes knowing that everything can be glossed over or fixed? But over time, Charlie is increasingly pulled into covering for Archer's constant deceits and his casual bigotry. At what point will the attraction of wealth and prestige wear off enough for Charlie to take a stand--and will he? For readers of Wiley Cash, Ann Patchett, and Pat Conroy, The Fortunate Ones is an immersive, elegantly written story that conveys both the seductiveness of this world and the corruption of the people who see their ascent to the top as their birthright.
