Recensione:

Praise for Heather Clay

“The family in this novel is so vividly imagined that I am still thinking of them: not as characters but as real people, recent companions of mine who have been through a lot, and for whom I wish serenity and in time joy. Losing Charlotte marks the debut of a very gifted young writer.”
—Ann Packer, author of The Dive from Clausen’s Pier and Songs Without Words

“Heather Clay is a graceful and assured new writer with a great gift for character: the people in her fiction are as complex, beautiful and real as they are in life. Losing Charlotte is a spellbinding first novel.”
—Lauren Groff, author of Monsters of Templeton

“Strong writing . . . . an auspicious debut.”
—Mary Ellen Quinn, Booklist

“[An] arresting debut. . . . Highly recommended for those who enjoy themes about family and sibling relationships and fans of women’s fiction a la Elizabeth Berg, Anne Lamott, Alice Hoffman, and Jodi Picoult.”
—Shaunna Hunter, Library Journal

“Heather Clay’s writing style is dreamy, elliptical . . . She describes moments with beautiful precision and aptly relays the murky, battering numbness of grief.”
—Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

“Vivid . . . [has] the ring of truth . . . Clay knows how to craft a realistic plot and characters who, under pressure, change in believable ways. Losing Charlotte is a promising debut.”
—Margaret Quamme, The Columbus Dispatch

“Clay's debut novel has plenty to say about familial relationships in general and sisterhood in particular.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] heart-wrenching debut novel. . . . Clay’s characters are flawed yet fun, and her storytelling style is as endearing as an old friend’s.”
—Elisabeth Egan, Self Magazine
