"Part period piece, part family saga, The Cure is a particularly American story and an achingly beautiful one at that." -- Mary Morris, author of The River Queen
"Waters is a graceful, subtle writer, gifted at limning the intricate connections between women bound together by blood or marriage. This is a novel of extraordinary beauty."-- Booklist, starred review
"Though it might seem strange to praise a writer for the things she doesn't do, what really sets Meloy apart is her restraint. She is impressively concise, disciplined in length and scope. And she's balanced in her approach to character, neither blinded by love for her creations, nor abusive toward them. . . . She's such a talented and unpredictable writer that I'm officially joining her fan club; whatever she writes next, I'll gladly read it."-Curtis Sittenfeld, The New York Times Book Review
Booklist, *Starred Review* Shaw’s piercingly insightful first novel depicts a woman in her thirties redefining her life. Shaw’s graceful prose and razor-sharp observations—at one point, Lacey observes her brother is “like a house burning down before our eyes”—make this absorbing debut a true standout. --Kristine Huntley
