The Witch Elm
“ ‘I’ve always considered myself to be, basically, a lucky person.’ That’s the first line of Tana French’s extraordinary new novel . . . Here’s a things-go-bad story Thomas Hardy could have written in his prime . . . the book is lifted by French’s nervy, almost obsessive prose . . . This is good work by a good writer. For the reader, what luck.†– Stephen King, the New York Times Book Review
