Illustrating the change of seasons, Gal’s charcoal and digital collage images effervesce with cheery colors, moving from the radiant gold, yellows, and reds of autumn to the greens and blues of spring—with a stop in snowy winter for Chanukah, of course.

This little bit of bedtime foolery feels a little incomplete, but it should strike a chord—and it’s far wittier than the similarly themed Go the Fuck to Sleep.

The most successfully drawn people are Alec and Meg; Lamprell has perfect pitch when it comes to marital discord...But by the end, this guidebook reads like it has gone through a Cuisinart, leaving a choppy, chaotic mess. Arrivederci, Roma. The wise reader will stick with Fodor’s next time.

The serious questions that The Followers poses about love, faith and responsibility blend with Wait’s propulsive plotting and the complicity she creates through the power of her writing to form a great surging shout of a novel, which left me, in the end, in tears.

Semple avoids patronising readers by providing a simple answer to Eleanor’s problems. The climax is surprisingly unthinkable, but as optimistic and tentatively hopeful as its title suggests.

...Sedaris’s developing voice is the lifeline that pulls him through the murk. In the last year of the diaries, with Sedaris a now-established best-selling author and world traveler, the prickly Southern wit is still intact and sparkling...

“Extraordinary Adventures” is a thoughtful, poignant story of love and life, a deft bildungsroman depicting one man’s detour from the humdrum in order to embrace the possibilities that he never suspected he might want. A strong (as usual) offering from Daniel Wallace.

Like the international court’s attempts to bring retrospective justice to Bosnia, it is imperfect and occasionally confusing, but also admirable and important.

Tracy Chevalier’s take on the Moor of Venice blends innocence and darkness in a way that is both unanticipated and incredibly effective. ["New Boy"] is powerful and thoughtful and captivating, a book you’ll want to savor even as you tear through its too-few pages.

The Maine Edge

At its core, “Stephen Florida” is a story of isolation. Whether it’s the geographic isolation inherent to the North Dakota location or the self-enforced isolation in which Stephen chooses to exist, the notion of loneliness drips from every page ... a crazy-quilt tapestry that captivates and mesmerizes.

Middling for this distinguished series: yet more evidence of why Scandinavian crime writers continue to dominate international bestseller lists.

Kirkus

Other than the predictable complications caused by her agoraphobia, her responses to the terrible things suddenly destroying her life seem almost completely reactionary, drawing little on the subtleties of character Lehane spent so much time developing in the first half of the novel...Nonetheless, Since We Fell is a ride you won’t want to miss.

...romance being Quick/Krentz’s default mode, Oliver must deploy his sleight-of-hand on Irene. A passably entertaining whodunit with very few surprises.

“Woman No. 17” is a taut tightrope walk of a novel, a delicate balance between two perspectives...This combination of distinct voice and wide range is exceedingly rare; we can only hope we don’t have to wait too long for the next work from this immensely talented writer.

Readers taken in by Atkins’ sureness of touch in the first half of this schizoid yarn richly deserve to get flimflammed by the bait-and-switch that follows.

That said, several other characters are insufficiently differentiated and, without a glossary, make little impact. Nevertheless, Into the Water remains largely arresting as layer after layer is peeled back to reveal the truth about the deaths in the river.

Financial Times

As in many collections, some of the pieces are disposable, but the best ones are honest, opinionated, and spirited.

Kirkus

"Because many of the stories’ endings are ambiguous, they would make excellent fodder for book club discussion. But any reader with a love of fine writing in short story format should find pieces to savor among these well-written offerings."
