So good.

Thank you! This book is resonating with me on so many levels. The exact kind of book I’d be hand-selling to everyone if I still owned a bookstore. Also, the @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social classic cover is its own work of art and I love that they published this.

I’m spellbound by it. The cadence, details, and insights are a balm. Also feeling a strange sisterhood as I was born in Detroit, have lived in LA, and just handed in my latest novel to my agent about a writer on the run from her grief. So happy to have found this book. Reading Surrender next. Bravo.

Damn. What a terrible loss. I often use the opening of Winter’s Bone to illuminate for students what language can do. And I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer so I know what his family has suffered and my heart goes out to them. Such a heartbreak all around. 💔

Yes. Cracks you wide open.

Such a favorite!

Beautiful.

Good grief. Thanks for posting.

What? I was born and raised there and never knew this! Very cool!

👏👏👏

And yes, how awful that she would have to spend a minute of what is left of her precious life addressing her monstrous cousin.

I thought having other writers with the same name as me was difficult. Yours is next level, Caroline!

👏👏👏

Here here. 👏

The same happened to me. Hard cover, Mariner, HMH, front cover blurb, “A blindly beautiful book.” Should have been “Blindingly,”obviously. Oof indeed.

How wonderful to wake up to the news that he won. This is an extraordinary work and he’s an extraordinary man. Bravo. 👏
