The novel I’ve looked forward to most this coming year: Adam Haslett’s Mothers and Sons . . . I’ve loved his writing since Union Atlantic and this book is his best yet . . . The echoes of the Russian greats in the title aren’t misplaced – this is an epic family saga that packs an extraordinary emotional punch * Guardian, ‘Fiction to look out for in 2025’ * Mothers and Sons is both moving and deeply compelling, a story about the search for our own humanity, and the lengths we will go to maintain it. A new book by Adam Haslett is always cause for celebration. He is one of our very best writers -- Ann Patchett Mothers and Sons is like sonar in a lake, pinging out everything submerged, the hidden stories, shames and joys. There’s nothing like it. Haslett’s characters feel so real, their choices so hard, their lives so true. He is everything you want in a writer A family-in-crisis story that keenly captures deep-seated fears and regrets . . . Haslett’s sophisticated grasp of the ways that people over-police their feelings makes it a remarkably acute and effective character study . . . The strength of Haslett’s storytelling is its deliberation, slowly peeling back the veneers of Peter's and Ann’s professional accomplishments and cool public personas to reveal storms of guilt and fear * Kirkus (starred review) *
