A New York Times bestseller, a finalist for the NBCC John Leonard First Novel Prize, a finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction, a finalist for the New York Public Library Young Lions Award, and named a Best Book of 2016 by NPR, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue, and others. "Ferociously moving...a lush book, a book of so many secrets, betrayals...Despite Bennett's thrumming plot, despite the snap of her pacing, it's the always deepening complexity of her characters that provides the book's urgency...I found myself reading not to find out what happens to the characters, but to find out who they are." - The New York Times Book Review "Ms. Bennett allows her characters to follow their worst impulses, and she handles provocative issues with intelligence, empathy, and dark humor. Her risk-taking pays off.".
