Brundage, Elizabeth

Brundage carefully outlines the tangled relationships of love and ambition among three students in stylized prose; her central concept of photography is evocative both literally and metaphorically. Starting out slow-paced and character-driven, the story picks up speed once there’s the mystery of Rye’s disappearance. Recommended for readers of Anne Tyler or William Boyd.

Tragedy leaves an indelible mark on both people and places in Brundage's (A Stranger Like You) piercing new novel. Part mystery, part ghost story, and entirely brilliant, this title will entrance book clubs and literary fiction readers.
