His dad Tom has recently lost his wife and stumbles towards the future, terrified of losing control of what remains of his family life\n\nBoth are in search of something as they set out on an expedition into the American South.\n\nAs they travel they encounter a new world and we discover whether the hopes of youth can conquer the fears of age.\n\nDirt Road is a major novel exploring the brevity of life, the agonising demands of love and the lure of the open road. It is also a beautiful book about the power of music and all that it can offer.</P>",
    "description": "From the Booker Prize-winning James Kelman, 'Dirt Road is about coming of age, grief and the folk music of the American deep south' Daily Telegraph. Dirt Road is Kelman's most emotional - and his most accessible - novel for years. It will appeal to fans of Cormac McCarthy and Raymond Carver. A film adaptation directed by Kenneth Glenaan has completed production and is slated for release in 2017.  ",
