Reviews for Clara at the Edge

Clara is a fascinating, feisty character....The writing is haunting and lyrical, and frequently ripples with humor and heart....Clara truly is at the edge of something greater than herself....[and her] story unspools in a compelling and engaging way. --Foreword Reviews Fox's writing says yes to every surreal and absurd possibility life offers. --Booklist This dazzling combination of riotous imagination with bottomless compassion makes this such a stellar debut. Readers will surely remember Clara and her crew--they are utterly distinct, and beautifully realized. --Aimee Bender, author of The Color Master, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, and four other novels We will follow Clara anywhere. --Walter Kirn, author of 8 books, including Up in the Air and Blood Will Out Who knew wasps could be protectors, champions, and the best friends a girl ever had? Maryl Jo Fox has written a wild, enchanting, constantly surprising story of one woman's resilience, courage, and redemption through what may be a kind of magical insanity. Clara At the Edge kept me buzzing on every page. --Diana Wagman, author of Life #6, The Care and Feeding of Exotic Pets, and four other novels The writing is just like Clara--unpredictable and powerful. Each decision can lead to unimaginable consequences. --Heavy Feather Review
