Reviews
Highly original and thought-provoking, The Hush is a compelling page-turner whose questions and ideas capture a cultural and political zeitgeist. -- Anna Downes, bestselling author of The Safe Place If you're one of those people who have sweated out every day of the pandemic and pondered where all this is leading, The Hush may be the horror story that haunts your daily nightmares. -- Bookreporter Magnificent. Writer envy. Foster is changing the game. -- Nikki Gemmell Terrifyingly plausible--and utterly compelling. -- Wendy James This book was both amazing and terrifying at the same time...I highly recommend this one. -- Manhattan Book Review Brilliantly imagined and superbly told, this story reaches out and grabs you right from the outset. It's impossible to put down, not just because of the gripping plot but because the three women at the center of the book wind themselves around your heart as they struggle to comprehend the increasingly frightening world they're living in. This is the novel everyone will be talking about this year. -- Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Secret Smart and considered, this is the book I wish I had written. Sara Foster is one of my favorite writers. -- Dervla McTiernan
