Visceral." --Los Angeles Times "Exceptional." --Newsweek "Thought-provoking and thrilling." --Good Morning America "Poignant." --Scientific American, Praise for Once There Were Wolves "Blazing . . . Visceral . . . As McConaghy shows in this stunning book, the limits of language lead us to the limits of empathy." Los Angeles Times "An exceptional book that captures the soul and breaks the heart, only to put it back together again." Newsweek "Lyrical, captivating, thought-provoking and thrilling, this immersive read will capture your attention from the first page." Good Morning America "So damn good. A page-turner that makes you think and has a huge emotional impact." Jeff VanderMeer Praise for Migrations "True and affecting, elegiac and imminent . . . [Filled] with suspense and surprises, parceled out so tantalizingly that it took disciplined willpower to keep from skipping down each page to see what happens." The Washington Post "Visceral and haunting . . . This novel's prose soars with its transporting descriptions. . . . A nervy and well-crafted novel, one that lingers long after its voyage is over." The New York Times Book Review "Suspenseful, atmospheric . . . As much a mystery as an odyssey." Vogue "As beautiful and as wrenching as anything I've ever read. This is an extraordinary novel by a wildly talented writer." Emily St. John Mandel
