title: The Lola Quartet: A Suspense Thriller
author:  Emily St. John Mandel 
description: [An] ingeniously constructed literary thriller.<i> Minneapolis Star</i> <i>Tribune</i><br /><i></i><br />[An] elegant, hypnotic novel. . . . An elegy for lostand perhaps only imaginedinnocence. <i>The Washington Post<br /></i><br />Compelling. . . . Perhaps all novelists can be said to wrestle with morality; Mandel seems to wrestle with it at greater length and in greater depth than most. . . .First-rate fiction. <i>Dallas Morning News </i><br /><i></i><br />A novel noir that wears its influences proudly on the beige sleeve of its trench coat. Delightful. <i>Paste <br /></i><br />Trumpets [Mandels] talents: her charismatic verbal grace and acuity, the rich atmosphere she creates. <i>The Boston Globe </i><br /><br />Emily St. John Mandel is astonishing.Emma Straub, author of <i>The Vacationers</i><br /><i></i><br />[Mandel] is a stunningly beautiful writer whose complex, flawed, and well-drawn characters linger with you. Sarah McCarry, Tor.com <br /><br />Fascinating. <i>Booklist </i><br /><br />Riveting. . . . Evocative, intriguing, and complex, this novel is as smooth as the underbelly of a deadly, furtive reptile. <i>Library Journal</i> (starred review) <br /><br />A rewarding read. <i>Foreword </i>magazine<br /><br />Result[s] in both sophistication and suspense. <i>Publishers Weekly </i><br /><br />[Mandels] writing is pure elegance. Patrick DeWitt, author of <i>Sisters Brothers</i>
