Sunrise

I’ve loved every book Téa Obreht has written but I might love this one the most. It’s tense and beautifully constructed, and it features Obreht’s signature precision when it comes to both language and emotion. Please put this book into the hands of everyone you know – Liz Moore, author of The God of the WoodsSunrise is thrilling and ingenious. In her new novel, Obreht explores this country’s troubled past, its gaps and silences, and the rich history that only new storytellers can excavate – Laila Lalami, author of The Dream HotelSunrise is everything you could wish for from a storyteller of Obreht’s caliber: a witty, propulsive tale of survival, a spirited reckoning with the ambivalences of American life, a deep dive into the secret histories of the West. Spellbinding and ingeniously crafted, this novel deepens Obreht’s reputation as one of our moment’s most original bards and shows the power of story to orient, investigate, and illuminate – Alexandra Kleeman, author of Something New Under the SunTéa Obreht never disappoints * Esquire *Obreht’s latest novel is an unputdownable, metafictional, and nimble page-turner … The book’s structure is part of its pleasure, as is Obreht’s uncanny ability to write convincingly, it seems, about everything and everywhere and everyone, her precise, generous prose like being dunked into a new reality; with every section I found myself both anxious to get to the next, to find out what happened, and equally reluctant to leave … The result of all this is an adventure novel about what we remember and why, a three-pronged fable about the myths we hold dear, both about ourselves and about men and women we’ve never met * Literary Hub *Twenty-four-year-old Nina survives a plane crash in the Wyoming mountains. While searching for her boyfriend, who was flying the plane, she stumbles into a ghost town in the wilderness. There, she discovers a series of secrets that connect her to a gunslinger from a 1902 pulp novel and a historian trying to preserve the ghost town in 2003, in this triple-timeline story that asks: Who writes history, and what do they have to hide? * Good Housekeeping *
