title: The Girl Below: A Novel
author:  Bianca Zander 
description: &#8220;[A] well-crafted novel whose emotional impact will linger after the final page.&#8221; (Publishers Weekly)<br /><br />&#8220;I just loved THE GIRL BELOW--it&#8217;s so real and moving, so funny and smart, so sharp and artful. In every sense, Bianca Zander is a fantastic writer, and I&#8217;m recommending this magical novel to all my friends.&#8221; (Curtis Sittenfeld, New York Times bestselling author of Prep and American Wife)<br /><br />&#8220;Sharp, incisive, funny, THE GIRL BELOW is an intoxicating read. Combining gritty coming-of-age realism with time-travelling weirdness, Zander&#8217;s writing brings the genius of Murakami to mind.&#8221; (Sarah Laing, author of Coming Up Roses and Dead People's Music)<br /><br />&#8220;Zander&#8217;s debut brims with truth; her accuracy of detail and way with words can be dizzying. This is a nuanced, complex portrait of contemporary female subjectivity.&#8221; (Samuel Park, author of This Burns My Heart)<br /><br />&#8220;The mystery at the core of this beautifully crafted novel was so compelling that I couldn&#8217;t sleep until I finished it. . . . This is a wonderful, surprising and accomplished debut novel.&#8221; (Marianne Elliott, author of Zen Under Fire)<br /><br />&#8220;A terrific read -- the sort of book you don&#8217;t want to put down, and then stays with you when you do . . . Zander works the entwined themes of estrangement and strangeness beautifully.&#8221; (New Zealand Herald)
