Description: Praise for Susan Palwick "Packs a huge emotional wallop...Flying in Placeis a brave and honest work, an impressive and important debut." -San FranciscoExaminer "Unflinching clarity and great dramatic powerSusan Palwick, a young writer who has hitherto attracted some notice for her stories, poems, and essays, is withFlying in Placea novelist of moment." -Newsday "One of the best and most moving novels by a new author I have read in years." -Alison Lurie onFlying in Place "I read it in one night and a morning train trip, arriving for work dazed, distracted and drinking in the last few pages. It is a deeply moving book. Palwick's withering understatements of pain are laced with a regret for the lost magic of childhood-even a ruined childhood." -Geoff Ryman onFlying in Place "Flying in Placeis a bittersweet novel of a dead sister who returns to give our narrator the tools she need to break her family out of the poisonous pattern that is consuming them all. ... beautifully handled ... a wonderful debut for a writer who has proved she can write well in long forms as well as short ones -- may it be the first of many novels from Palwick, each one better than the ones before."Orson Scott Card "Flying in Placeis compelling, wrapping deep-empathy insights in lyric poetry to show us the monster behind the mask."-Andrew Vachss
