Book Overview
National Bestseller Soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Holland and directed by the Russo Brothers. A young medic returns from deployment in Iraq to two things: the woman he loves, and the opioid crisis sweeping across the Midwest. In this "miracle of literary serendipity" (The Washington Post), after finding himself deep in the thrall of heroin addiction, the soldier arrives at what seems like the only logical solution: robbing banks. Written by a singularly talented, wildly imaginative debut novelist, Cherry is a bracingly funny and unexpectedly tender work of fiction straight from the dark heart of America.

Gritty, Disturbing and Brilliant
Published by Randy Ehrler , 9 months ago
"Cherry" by Nico Walker is a remarkable novel that delves deep into the tumultuous life of a troubled young man. The writing is brilliant, offering a gritty and sometimes disturbing portrayal of addiction. With a prominent military component, it provides a stark look at the harsh realities of war, revealing the difficulty and inhumanity experienced by soldiers. The protagonist's journey highlights how the military neither saved nor destroyed him but merely amplified existing troubles. This novel strips away the veneer surrounding both military service and addiction, offering an unflinching and insightful exploration. If you're ready to confront the raw truth behind these issues, "Cherry" is a must-read that will leave a lasting impact.
