“Louisa Hall deftly explores the notions of romantic and familial regret in her debut novel, “The Carriage House.” And it’s already getting plenty of attention. Oprah has selected it as one of the top reads in March for her influential book club.
Hall probably attracted Oprah’s attention — and will probably attract the attention of many book lovers — because she creates a character-driven tale of a young woman who is struggling to reconcile her past glories with her present-day disappointments. At the same time, she’s dealing with a father who has had a mild stroke, a mother who has Alzheimer’s and two sisters who have a few issues, as well.”
-The Austin American-Statesman‘s Charles Ealy on The Carriage House by Louisa Hall, the Statesman Selects pick for March. Read his full review over on the Statesman website. We’re proud to partner with the Statesman each month to bring you one book you absolutely should not miss. If it’s a Statesman Selects title, you know it’s bound to be a good read.
