The Lola Quartet

The Lola Quartet

by Emily St. John Mandel

Gavin, Sasha, Daniel, and Jack form a jazz group when they are in high school. Ten years after high school, none of them are where they hoped to be. Gavin, now a journalist in New York City, finds himself disgraced. He loses his job and is forced to return to his hometown. Once there, he becomes obsessed in trying to find out what happened to his childhood sweetheart, Anna, who has disappeared. As the author weaves the story back and forth in time, we see what brought these characters to their current lives.
