Recensione
"Subtle, never sentimental, exact and terrifying, Linda Spalding is compelled by what she sees and learns, taking the moral disturbances of popular life as her starting point as she examines the blind violence at the heart of things."
--Susanna Moore, author of The Big Girls
"The true mystery here is not about a murder but about the unforeseen sisterhood between a writer and a prisoner. It's about the mirrors we hold up to one another and the risks of accepting what we see. I salute Linda Spalding. Who Named the Knife was not an easy book to write--which is why it makes for a most compelling read, a story told with honesty and a rare vulnerability."
--James D. Houston, author of Bird of Another Heaven
"I've read dozens of courtroom dramas and probably hundred of memoirs, but Spalding's remarkable book takes both of those familiar genres, twists them together, and pulls the resulting cord so taut that you cannot possible stop reading until you reach the last, haunting sentence."
--Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Other Possible Pursuits
"Spading's strong, elegant prose carries the story along effortlessly... This delicate yet powerful work should find a wide readership."
--Publishers Weekly
