Praise
“Actor Walger debuts with a piercing autobiographical novel about a woman’s relationship with her charismatic but neglectful father…. the dual themes of shame and overwhelming love are beautifully expressed, and the portrait of the father’s tragic arc is at once sweeping and precise… It’s a revelation.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“No parent is perfect; that’s a condition of being a human. The accomplishment of Sonya Walger’s novel is in seeking to understand a charmingly imperfect dad—charismatic but chaotic, doting when he’s not distracted—rather than condemn him. Lion is a beautifully written and ultimately deeply moving book, a powerful debut.’ —Rumaan Alam
“Lion by Sonya Walger is everything a reader could want. It’s personal and vast at once: profound and fun, deft linguistically and psychologically. Best of all, there’s that sprinkling of magic you get only in the rarest novels.” —Darin Strauss
