Madeline McKnight Signs Off

“Wry as it is warm, specific as it is universal, and uplifting as it is heartbreaking, Madeline McKnight Signs Off is a brilliant debut. Madeline and Bri stayed with me long after the poignant last page, and have changed the way I think about loyalty, love, and ambition. Also, there is an enormous dog named Hopie and morbidly hilarious jokes—what more could a reader want?” —Cat Shook, author of Humor Me
“An extraordinary exploration of friendship that spans the broadest universal themes of love and loyalty to the most intricate, intimate and memorable details of a human life. With this portrait alone, Evan Brooke’s debut novel is a powerful one, but add that her immediately compelling characters and situation are brilliantly woven onto the historical backdrop of the intrigue of Hetty Green, The Witch of Wall Street, and the result is nothing short of masterful.” —Jill McCorkle, New York Times bestselling author of Life After Life and Hieroglyphics
“Refreshing, witty, and irreverent, Madeline McKnight Signs Off tackles the topic of mortality with the perfect balance of dark humor and heart. Evan Brooke’s clear-eyed examination of how the world treats prickly, ambitious women is nuanced, thought-provoking, and, most importantly, immensely entertaining.”—Mikki Brammer, bestselling author of The Collected Regrets of Clover

Evan Brooke earned her MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Threepenny Review, The Baltimore Review, Cutleaf Journal, Passages North, and elsewhere. She lives with her husband, three kids, and two dogs outside of Philadelphia.
