Praise for My Sunshine Away " My Sunshine Away is that rarest find, a page-turner you want to read slowly and a literary novel you can't look away from. At times funny, at times spine-tinglingly suspenseful, and at times just flat-out wise, this novel is also a meditation on memory, how it can destroy or damn us but redeem us as well. It's a book to read and reread, one that will only get better with time, like its writer. I'm already excited about M. O. Walsh's next book, whatever it is." -Tom Franklin "Try and restrain yourself from flying through the pages of this wonderful novel. Instead savor this lush Louisiana mystery that takes you back to what life tasted like when you were still somewhat naïve to the ways of the world. Not just Southern, but American in its vivid Baton Rouge colors and scents, treetops and grasses, My Sunshine Away is the story of how the events of our youth profoundly affect us as adults. The last page is as satisfying as the first. A mystery you cannot wait to solve." -Kathryn Stockett , Praise for My Sunshine Away " My Sunshine Away is that rarest find, a page-turner you want to read slowly and a literary novel you can't look away from. At times funny, at times spine-tinglingly suspenseful, and at times just flat-out wise, this novel is also a meditation on memory, how it can destroy or damn us but redeem us as well. It's a book to read and reread, one that will only get better with time, like its writer. I'm already excited about M. O. Walsh's next book, whatever it is." -Tom Franklin, bestselling author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter "Try and restrain yourself from flying through the pages of this wonderful novel. Instead savor this lush Louisiana mystery that takes you back to what life tasted like when you were still somewhat naïve to the ways of the world. Not just Southern, but American in its vivid Baton Rouge colors and scents, treetops and grasses, My Sunshine Away is the story of how the events of our youth profoundly affect us as adults. The last page is as satisfying as the first. A mystery you cannot wait to solve." -Kathryn Stockett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Help "I really loved this book. I am in awe, swept up in the quiet beauty of the prose, and in the wisdom and compassion of the narrator. I can''t praise it enough. My Sunshine Away is not a thriller; it is not genre fiction; but it''s realism at its finest, and it is a page turner-a story made memorable in paragraph after paragraph by the brilliance of its author, and by the scope of the questions he asks as to how we live this life to the fullest as loving and moral beings. It's about love, obsession, and pain. Such a beautiful book. Such a remarkable book. I hope M.O. Walsh writes many more wonderful books." -Anne Rice, #1 nationally bestselling author of Prince Lestat "M.O. Walsh has written one of the best books I''ve read in a long while. An outstanding examination of the way that the past and the weight of our memories shape us, My Sunshine Away , thanks to Walsh's verve and total control over the narrative, feels utterly original." -Kevin Wilson, author of The Family Fang "Q: When is it a thrill to feel gutted? A: When you start reading the book you hold in your hands. M. O. Walsh's My Sunshine Away reminds us that art can be wrenching and a delight, that pain-if examined through wit, intimacy, and wisdom-can be a salve. This novel is great."Darin Strauss, internationally bestselling author of Half a Life " My Sunshine Away begins with a crime. But the novel is so much more than a mystery; it's half lament, half love letter to youth and to possibility. On every page, we feel complicit, perhaps even guilty. Guilty of what? For ever having been young ourselves. The magic of My Sunshine Away is in M. O. Walsh's extraordinary ability to make us long for the heartache of youth and its inevitable sins. This is an awe-inspiring debut." -Hannah Pittard, author of Reunion and The Fates Will Find Their Way "If I were asked to list the qualities the ideal novel would offer, I'd start by demanding beautiful sentences. I'd want the opening to grab me and I'd want the ending to refuse to let go. I'd ask for characters who consistently surprise by being somehow deeper and less predictable than we could ever have guessed they'd be. I'd want Place to be written with a capital P. I'd want a mystery at the heart of the story, and a mystery or two in every heart. And when I finished reading the book, I'd want to be both wiser and sadder than when I started. M. O. Walsh's magnificent novel My Sunshine Away afforded me all these pleasures and more. This is one of the best novels I've read in ages." -Steve Yarbrough, author of The Realm of Last Chances , Praise for My Sunshine Away "Try and restrain yourself from flying through the pages of this wonderful novel.

I can't praise it enough."--Anne Rice, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Prince Lestat "[A] wrenching and wondrous coming-of-age tale. Walsh's debut novel is a mystery, a Louisiana mash note and a deeply compassionate, clear-eyed take on the addled teen-boy mind."-- People "Excellent...Walsh has an innate knack for plot and suspense, but the real pleasure here is his prose. This stunning and gracefully written debut novel is a total page-turner until the very end."-- Entertainment Weekly "Capable of making a reader cry...and scream...And yet, you're never exhausted trying to piece together clues to solve the crime. The power of the book lies in its spot-on characters."--Oprah.com "[A] rich, unexpected, exceptional book...A gripping read that's more than a thriller, more than a traditional Southern tale, My Sunshine Away is a brilliant meditation on the unpredictability and the lifelong effects of childhood events and relationships."-- Chicago Tribune " My Sunshine Away is also simply, like Lee's [ To Kill a Mockingbird ], a great work of fiction. It's a page-turning thriller with a heartbreaking crime and an intriguing cast of suspects...[Walsh's] haunting, lyrical novel will compel you to look back on your own life's mysteries, your own childhood fog."-- The Fort Worth Star Telegram "Recalls the best of Pat Conroy: the rich Southern atmosphere, the interplay of darkness and light in adolescence, the combination of brisk narrative suspense with philosophical musings on memory, manhood, and truth....Celebrate, fiction lovers: The gods of Southern gothic storytelling have inducted a junior member."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Suspenseful, compassionate, and absorbing, Walsh's word-perfect rendering of the doubts, insecurities, bravado, and idealism of teens deserves to be placed in the hands of readers of Tom Franklin, Hannah Pittard, and Jeffrey Eugenides."-- Booklist (starred review) "[A] gripping 300-page debut novel that is already one of the year's most anticipated books...[P]itch perfect on details...Walsh [is] a master storyteller."-- The New Orleans Times Picayune "M.O. Walsh's marvelous debut novel is so thick with searching nostalgia and melancholy, it gives the reader the same sense of authenticity and emotional satisfaction more typically associated with a good memoir. My Sunshine Away is the kind of novel you simply can't put down."-- Dallas Morning News, Praise for My Sunshine Away " My Sunshine Away is that rarest find, a page-turner you want to read slowly and a literary novel you can't look away from.

Synopsis
The debut novel everyone is talking about... The last page is as satisfying as the first." —Kathryn Stockett I really loved this book... I can't praise it enough."—Anne Rice It's a book to read and reread, one that will only get better with time."—Tom Franklin It was the summer everything changed.… My Sunshine Away unfolds in a Baton Rouge neighborhood best known for cookouts on sweltering summer afternoons, cauldrons of spicy crawfish, and passionate football fandom. But in the summer of 1989, when fifteen-year-old Lindy Simpson—free spirit, track star, and belle of the block—experiences a horrible crime late one evening near her home, it becomes apparent that this idyllic stretch of Southern suburbia has a dark side, too. In My Sunshine Away , M.O. Walsh brilliantly juxtaposes the enchantment of a charmed childhood with the gripping story of a violent crime, unraveling families, and consuming adolescent love. Acutely wise and deeply honest, it is an astonishing and page-turning debut about the meaning of family, the power of memory, and our ability to forgive. , THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -A tantalizing mystery and a tender coming-of-age story...Unputdownable.---Oprah.com In the summer of 1989, a Baton Rouge neighborhood best known for cookouts on sweltering summer afternoons, cauldrons of spicy crawfish, and passionate football fandom is rocked by a violent crime when fifteen-year-old Lindy Simpson--free spirit, track star, and belle of the block--is attacked late one evening near her home.

Walsh brilliantly juxtaposes the enchantment of a charmed childhood with the gripping story of a violent crime, unraveling families, and consuming adolescent love.
