Review:
A heartbreaking exploration of memory and language, grief and redemption (Esquire)
Shimmers with idiosyncratic intrigue ... a humanistic parable of the heart's confusions. (Entertainment Weekly)
Captivatingly strange ... perilously adorable (New York Times)
The most unique and imaginative book I have read in recent times. Parkhurst is a wonderful writer and her story is daring, tender and full of surprises as well as wisdom and insight. I simply could not put it down. (John Searles, author of 'Boy Still Missing'; Senio)
Carolyn Parkhurst's 'Lorelei's Secret' --so luminous, heartbreaking, comic, and daring--is an astonishing debut. Parkhurst writes of love and loss, and, above all, of what we can and cannot know of one another, with power and deeply earned grace. (Richard McCann, author of 'Ghost Letters')
This tightly woven tale has all the right stuff: romance, suspense, fantasy, and an ending that does not disappoint. (Red magazine (US))
Carolyn Parkhurst writes as well about talking dogs and square eggs as she does about the limits of language and the intractable mysteries of the self. 'Lorelei's Secret' is a strange, beautiful and very moving novel that asks us to look, in equal measure, at the puzzle that is grief and the puzzle that is love. (Elizabeth Graver, author of 'The Honey Thief' and)
