The Unnamed — Joshua Ferris

In a New York beset with strange weather, Tim Farnsworth is a successful lawyer who suffers a peculiar affliction: the inability to stop himself from walking. His wife, Jane, struggles alongside Tim to keep their family together in the face of something they can't define or defeat. But ultimately Tim alone must fight -- to survive the pitiless weather, his encounters with strangers, and the inexplicable demands of his own body. Forced to reconsider everything he thought he knew, Tim faces his greatest challenge in a final journey on foot across America to reunite with his family.

A mystery, an odyssey, a love story: The Unnamed is the unforgettable novel of a life taken for granted and how the magnetic pull of those we love can overcome the inevitable forces of nature.
