We’ve been talking about The Nest for over a year and now it’s here.
This LibraryReads pick is just wonderful, and the critics agree. Here is a mere sampling of the raves that have been pouring in:
“[A] generous, absorbing novel…Sweeney’s endearing characters are quirky New Yorkers all… [a] lively novel. A fetching debut from an author who knows her city, its people, and their heart.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“In her debut, Sweeney spins a fast-moving, often-humorous narrative, and her portrait of each sibling is compassionate even as she reveals their foibles with emotional clarity…assured, energetic, and adroitly plotted…an engrossing narrative that endears readers to the Plumb family for their essential humanity.” — Publishers Weekly
“[S]cenes both witty and tragic… that glow with the confidence of an experienced comic writer… [Sweeney] maintains a refreshing balance of tenderness. Rather than skewering the Plumbs to death, she pokes them, as though probing to find the humanity beneath their cynical crust.” — Washington Post
