Dear Zoe:a Novel - Readings

Description

DON'T MISS THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING SADIE SINK OF STRANGER THINGS!

Dear Zoe is a remarkable study of grief, adolescence, and healing with a pitch-perfect narrator who is at once sharp and naive, world-worried and self-centered, funny and heartbreakingly honest.

Fifteen-year-old Tess DeNunzio hasn't been the same since she lost her sister Zoe to a hit-and-run accident on September 11th—when it seemed like nothing mattered except the tragedies playing out in New York and Washington. Dear Zoe is Tess's letter to her sister, written as a means of figuring out her own life and her place in the world—and the result is a novel of rare power and grace that tells us much about ours.

In a word, it’s beautiful."-Pittsburgh Magazine"SWINGis richly rewarding...a tight, poignant coming of age novel...[that] will stay with you long after you put this book down."–Sports Illustrated“It wouldn’t be fair or accurate to callSWINGa sports book. It’s too rare for that.”–The Sporting News“Every character—the absent father, the troubled sister, the mysterious wonder that is John Kostka—feels alive due to Beard‘s skillfully simple prose and dialogue. WithSWING, Beard has hit it out of the park.”–Foreword Reviews“...just about perfect.”-The Pittsburgh Post-GazettePraise forDear Zoe,“Like The Lovely Bones, it is a piercing look at how a family recovers from a devastating loss. Everything about this moving, powerful debut rings true.”–Booklist(starred review)“Dear Zoe is an almost flawless novel of self-discovery and redemption. It is the sort of book that a generation can call ‘theirs,’ a book that captures the trials of adolescence and the aching numbness of America in the aftermath of 9/11.”–The Press of Atlantic City“The whole novel rings with truth. By the end of it, we’re meditating on the ideas of loss and redemption, the ways in which personal tragedies get absorbed into larger ones, but neverobliterated, never forgotten.”–The Buffalo News
