""Surprising and spellbinding, I Am Agatha is a beautiful love story and meditation on grief, memory, art, and the deepest secrets we hold to keep living. Agatha is a narrator for the ages, telling us her story in a powerful voice--lush, sharp, blunt, and lyrical, all at once. And that extraordinary ending! Once I finished, I had to turn back to the beginning to reread and rethink through the whole story again."" --Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls ""Gloriously uncompromising or simply ornery and enigmatic? Nancy Foley's extraordinary Agatha is both--and, she discovers, something else altogether. This fierce and tender novel brilliantly captures how unexpected devotion can crack open even the most stubbornly guarded heart."" --Antoine Wilson, nationally bestselling author of Mouth to Mouth ""To write in the style of a painter is no small feat. When that artist is Agnes Martin, it is something of a miracle. Nancy Foley's exacting and rhythmic prose delivers a marvel of precision and unexpected joy. I Am Agatha masterfully demonstrates the quiet power of lines--drawn, written, and crossed."" --Christine Coulson, nationally bestselling author of Metropolitan Stories and One Woman Show ""This tale of an artist in New Mexico is itself a wise and gorgeous work of art. Foley makes us see old age afresh, as a time of passion, risk, and sharp, exposing light."" --Clare Pollard, Tadeusz Bradecki Prize-winning author of The Modern Fairies
