How Lucky: By Will Leitch | Book Review Podcast

<p>How Lucky: By Will Leitch</p> <p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://gobookmart.com">https://gobookmart.com</a></p> <p>“A lovely book. Set in Athens, Georgia, the novel is a model of verisimilitude.&nbsp; It is also beautifully written and suspenseful, at the same time being all about goodness and caring without once being sappy, or, well, sentimental.&nbsp; And that is a rare feat in fiction.”&nbsp; -- <em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br> <br> "I'm reading a fantastic novel by Will Leitch called <em>How Lucky</em>. Publishes in May, I think. It's suspenseful and often wildly funny. You are going to like this a lot, and I think a lot of you are going to like it. It has that <em>Where the Crawdads Sing</em> vibe." -- Stephen King<br> <br> “What’s more thrilling than a fictional character speaking to us in a voice we haven’t heard before, a voice so authentic and immediate - think Huck Finn, Holden Caulfield, Mattie Ross - that we suspect it must’ve been there all along, that we somehow managed to miss it?&nbsp; Daniel, the protagonist of Will Leitch’s smart, funny, heartbreaking new novel <em>How Lucky</em>, is just such a voice, and I’m not sure it will ever completely leave my head, or that I want it to.”&nbsp;&nbsp; -- <strong>Richard Russo</strong><br> <br> “<em>How Lucky</em> is a gem: a riveting&nbsp;plot and a&nbsp;narrator who is charming, engaging, and downright inspiring. Will Leitch brilliantly juggles hilarity and horror. I loved this novel — every page.” -- <strong>Chris Bohjalian, #1 Bestselling Author of </strong><em><strong>The Flight Attendant</strong></em><strong> and </strong><em><strong>Hour of the Witch</strong></em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support</a>
