Critical Praise

"As readable as its heroine is compulsive, this is the kind of book that makes you stay up half the night and (like its heroine) hate yourself in the morning."

——The New Yorker

"She can bring the ordinary to life with the sheer clarity of vision. She knows how a house with children in it sounds at night, what the heat and bustle in a kitchen feel like before a family dinner and how indiscretions arise in a dining room when everyone is flushed with wine."

——New York Times Book Review

"Morris is a master storyteller, an acute observer of small-town America and of people who struggle, sometimes in vain, to have lives that amount to more than hard work and a cold bed… Fiona Range, the novel, is a wealth of passion and heartbreak."

——USA Today

"Propels the reader along so swiftly, the novel can be devoured in one sitting… A fascinating portrait of a woman whose instinctive sense of a mystery about herself leads her to uncover that secret at all costs."

——Chicago Tribune
