Visitation Street by Ivy Pochoda
Utterly compelling literary crime from a major new voice.
The dealings with the tragedy within the first few chapters, reminded me so much of Twin Peaks. . with Pochoda's clever prose, it soon becomes evident that between each of the characters there lays a gulf of isolation . . . Pochoda's prose and storytelling skill has managed with a clear and beautiful tact, to turn the town of Red Hook into the most fascinating character within the book. This makes the story both enchanting and tangible. * Huffington Post *
A powerfully beautiful novel * New York Times Book Review *
Gritty and magical, filled with mystery, poetry and pain, Ivy Pochoda's voice recalls Richard Price, Junot Diaz, and even Alice Sebold, yet it's indelibly her own. * Dennis Lehane *
Skilful... nuanced... Ms. Pochoda aspires to join female suspense novelists - among them, Tana French, Laura Lippman and Kate Atkinson - who are arguably writing more serious genre fiction than their male counterparts. * New York Times *
