'Prepare to be up late with this one; Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters is simply riveting. This is the kind of book where the past has a pulse – and teeth. It’s a page-turner for sure, with well-drawn, complicated characters whose choices linger long after the last page is turned.' -- Joshilyn Jackson, bestselling author of Someone Else's Love Story
'Stories don’t stop because we turn our backs on them but only an author as gifted and elegant as Emily Carpenter is able to call them back from the shadows. In the wistfully insightful Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters, Carpenter returns to her rich Southern Gothic roots to deliver a tour de force that is both a return to and a reckoning for her beloved Burying the Honeysuckle Girls. Beautiful, mesmerising, and saturated with suspense.' -- Amber Cowie
