Reviews
Excerpts from reviews of Frederick Busch'sGirls: "Girlsis about as close to perfect as a novel gets. Its prose is clean and strong but never advertises its own quiet brilliance, its characters are sharply defined and irresistible, and its plot is suspenseful enough to keep you up until dawn." --Men's Journal "Combining the quick pace of a detective story with the bold poetics of literary work, Frederick Busch's taut new novel,Girls, is a dark, compulsively readable drama.... From the makings of an all-too-common evening-news item, Busch has fashioned a novel of considerable weight and dimension. By imbuing the lurid with the introspective, he has given a stock story intelligence, humanity, and terrific range." --Elle "When a book is this successful it's impossible to detect any sign of artistic struggle.... Jack is such an absorbing and sympathetic narrator.... nothing [Busch] has published in the past has quite prepared me for the seductive beauty of this very disturbing book.... Its pitch-perfect dialogue, skillfully contrived plot, and authentically wintry atmosphere are all exceptional, but a great deal of its strength comes from the moral complexity of its characters.... The highest compliment a reader can pay a literary thriller--or any novel, for that matter--is to claim that the book is nearly as intricate and mysterious as life itself, that the reader has lived in the book as if it were a particularly lifelike dream, and cared about its characters as if they were real. All these claims are true aboutGirls". --The Washington Post Book World "It is a dark tale, but it's told with an economical mastery and intensity that only a few current novelists can command. Busch even manages to create a dog who is real, touching but never cute, and the perfect life-enhancing foil for the human sorrows around him." --Publishers Weekly "The novel's social realism gives it the page-turning pace of a mystery. But Busch's masterly pairing of dark wit and tender mercy is what makesGirlsa great work." --US "This well-written and engrossing novel is part mystery and part exploration of how grief can manhandle a marriage." --Booklist "Girlsis about pain and what happens when pain can't find its way out of the human vessel....Girlsis unusually entertaining.... In the end, this is a chilling story about the guilt of adulthood." --Time Out "Though the crime story is intriguing, it is Jack's growing insight about his marriage, his town, and himself that transforms this page-turner about lost children into a tender and eloquent examination of the even greater mystery that is the human heart." --Glamour "Fierce, wise, gripping and true,Girlsmarks the continuing evolution of a first-rate American storyteller.... the triumph ofGirlsis in its clear-eyed compassion for all those who try to flee from the bedrock realities of their lives." --The New York Times Book Review "A complex and disturbing vision of the world as a place filled with danger powers this fascinating novel.... It all works superbly as a conventional thriller, though the story's most effective as a harrowing expression of the fragility of our defenses against loss and death, and a moving characterization of its memorable protagonist, a decent man who struggles against powerful odds to remain one." --Kirkus Reviews From the Trade Paperback edition.
Synopsis
In the unrelentingly cold winter of upstate New York, Jack and Fanny are trying to come to terms with the death of their young daughter. When a 14-year-old disappears from her family's home, Jack finds a new purpose in life. Finding this child could be his salvation. NPR sponsorship.
