The Widow's Season

Praise

“In The Widow’s Season, Brodie draws on literary traditions, but hides the academic stuff under the flow of smart dialogue and sharp detail. This is a work of craft and imagination.”
–Roanoke Times

“In The Widow’s Season, Laura Brodie confronts all the twists and turns of grief and loss, love and marriage, and the human heart with honesty, humor, and great intelligence. This novel is spellbinding, right up to its surprising and poignant final page.”
-Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle

“The Widow’s Season is far more than what it seems to be at first – a straightforward story of a woman getting used to a crushing loss. It’s smarter, slyer, and more unconventional than that. It’s haunting-and haunted too.”
-Elizabeth Benedict, author of Almost and The Practice of Deceit
