Critical Buzz for I’d Know You Anywhere–Updated!
This past June at ALA, one of our most in-demand AREs was Laura Lippman's I'd Know You Anywhere, on sale today (check out the "buzz" from our title presentation). The critics are weighing in:
"She's one of the best novelists around, period.” —The Washington Post
"Lippman deftly keeps the balls aloft with a strong structure–a straight-ahead chronology interrupted by surgical flashbacks–and evocative writing." —Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Lippman’s taut, mesmerizing, and exceptionally smart drama of predator and prey is at once unusually sensitive and utterly compelling."–Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)
"From its unsettling opening to its breathtaking conclusion, "Anywhere" exemplifies Lippman's strengths: compassion, intense prose and deep empathy for the snares of ambiguous emotions."–Adam Woog, Seattle Times
"Lippman never forgets as she moves from past to present and from perspective to perspective that nothing is more important—or more elusive—than the truth."–Kirkus
Check out this video of Laura discussing the book, and be sure to stock your shelves. Laura will be appearing on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson (August 31) and on The Tavis Smiley Show (September 1)! I'd Know You Anywhere will also be coming to People Magazine's August 30th issue.
