What They're Saying

Critics Review

Lowell’s terrific first novel is a mystery, a love story, and a very dark comedy … the book is about the traces that literature and our ancestors leave in us, and it is about memory as a token of love - Charles Baxter, author of THE FEAST OF LOVE

The Madwoman Upstairs had me hooked well into the wee hours … Catherine Lowell has such a unique, inspired turn of phrase that you’ll find yourself laughing out loud even as she lures you deeper and deeper into this delicious mystery that is destined to become the page-turner of the year - Anne Fortier, author of JULIET
