At once sweeping and intimate, Laws of Love and Logic is a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken. Debra Curtis is not afraid to explore big questions about love and loss, but always with tenderness -- Shelby van Pelt, author of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES Laws of Love and Logic resonated so deeply with me, it’s the best thing I’ve read in years. A magnificent, spellbinding love story with characters I’ll be thinking about for a long time. I was utterly enthralled by it -- Clare Leslie Hall, author of BROKEN COUNTRY A captivating debut about love, loss and the many ways in which the past bleeds into the present, set against a backdrop of thirty years’ worth of American social progress and shifting expectations for women. Throughout it all, Lily wrestles with her love for two very different men, and is sustained by the unbreakable bond she shares with her brilliant but deeply complicated sister, Jane. I will be thinking about them both for a long, long time -- J. Courtney Sullivan, author of THE CLIFFS Debra Curtis writes fearlessly and wisely about family, marriage, addiction, faith, and redemption, and her soulful characters never take the easy way out. The motherless sisters in her debut novel Laws of Love and Logic grow up in the face of problems that have no solutions, where the way forward is simple but never easy: love unconditionally, try not to hurt anyone, and brace yourself for the next loss, the next joy * Bonnie Jo Campbell, author of THE WATERS * Laws of Love and Logic journeys fearlessly from deep space to the innermost chambers of the heart; the result is both tender and profound. Curtis has such extraordinary talent – I didn’t want it to end! * Rebecca Fallon *
