“The Nesting is at once a taut psychological thriller, an eerie Nordic fable, and a thoughtful meditation on stewardship––not only of children, but of friendship, of truth, and of the natural world we take for granted at our peril. Ms. Cooke tells her story with a spare, elegant prose that betrays a poet’s ear, and also a poet’s discipline. The language is beautiful, but effortlessly so, pushing the story forward in two deftly handled timelines. The characters are heartbreakingly three-dimensional….[A] quick read with a long echo.”—Christopher Buehlman, author of Those Across the River
 
“Chilling, totally engrossing and full of intrigue. The pages just whizzed by.”—Katherine May, author of Wintering
