A Locus Awards Top Ten Finalist for Fantasy Novel A 2021 LibraryReads Favorite "There is so much to enjoy in Under the Whispering Door , but what I cherish the most is its compassion for the little things--a touch, a glance, a precious piece of dialogue--healing me, telling me that for all the strangenesses I hold, I am valued, valid--and maybe even worthy of love." --Ryka Aoki, Light from Uncommon Stars "A warm hug of a book about a Grinch of a man who dies and a ferryman, who helps the dead in their journey onwards. Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people, full of kind people showing how compassion is a strength. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath." --Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale.
