Review
"A virtuoso performance… Eleanor might just be the book of the year." Russell Blake, bestselling author of Jet
Review
"Eleanor is deep — a really poignant, moving story that will surprise you with how smart it is. The novel turns a traditional tragic narrative on its head with compelling elements of science fiction and fantasy. It’s a touching story that sneaks up on you, working on multiple levels that pay off in a series of emotional uppercuts in the final pages. Read it and weep." Daniel H. Wilson, bestselling author of Robopocalypse
Review
"Th[e] violent rift between past and present affords each woman the chance to offer her own kind of repentance and forgiveness and redemption. In the end, Eleanor shows that one never knows what can happen when the reset button is pushed." Washington Post
