Niagara Falls All Over Again

“Suffice to say, this is a book about love, about the alchemy that attention can perform, about the complexities of giving and receiving. Compassionate, perceptive, generous, this novel shines. It is also as compelling as anything I’ve read in years. Once I picked it up, I simply could not put it down.” —John Burnside, the Scotsman

“In the vernacular of vaudeville, a successful act was called a Riot, a Panic, a Knockout and — the final accolade — a Wow, in an ascending order that suggests a brawl ending with a victor, his foot planted on the other fellow’s chest. Elizabeth McCracken’s new novel, Niagara Falls All Over Again, is a Wow.” —Carrie Brown, The Washington Post
