“Lynn’s latest (after Now You See It) is an introspective domestic
drama of a family battered by the rising cost of living…Lynn’s new
novel rings with truth and compassion.” —Publishers Weekly
“Lynn’s narrative, which depicts the raw emotional impact of deceit
and the helplessness of being unable to foretell the future or
forestall the inevitable, contains moments that introduce wit and
humor to a bleak situation that becomes bleaker by the moment.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The Exiles is a well-woven look at the human cost of capitalism
and a material culture in a mechanized life in which it becomes all
too easy to lose sight of what matters in the shadow of what
doesn’t.” —Bustle
“The Exiles is better about current-day New York — and the promise
of the American world outside New York — than just about anything I
can remember. If books teach you how to live, read The Exiles to
learn how to be a new parent, a spouse, a human being. Just read
it.” —Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life and More Than It Hurts
You
“...A revelation, a suspenseful and indelible journey through fate,
love, luck, and what it means to be a family.” —Lauren Grodstein,
author of A Friend of the Family and The Explanation for
Everything
“...A true storyteller, Allison Lynn pulls us deep into the hearts
and minds of a young couple caught up in a high-risk tangle of
money, morality, and mortality.” —Hillary Jordan, author of When
She Woke and Mudbound
“Sharp, consoling, hilarious....Her characters are as lovely and
embarrassing as our own sweet selves.” —Dan Barden, author of The
Next Right Thing
“Touching and funny and insightful...a cautionary tale for the
post-Lehman, post-Occupy era.” —Natalie Danford, author
ofInheritance
