1. 1. Little Lazarus

   

   Little Lazarus follows teenagers Francois and Eleanor, restless outsiders in the small Southern town of Harmony, whose lives are forever changed one drunken night. Their parallel stories are woven together with the long, traveling perspective of two clairvoyant tortoises—Lazarus and Little Lazarus—whose centuries-spanning journeys and varied caretakers (from a billionaire to generations of men and even a dog named Pony) bear witness to human love, loss, and longing. The novel is a lyrical, character-driven exploration of connection and memory.
