Critics Review
“What Happened in Beluah is a wonderful book—funny, sharp and poignant. It’s a story designed for all of us, of all ages, all wisdoms. It points to the necessity of recovery. It’s a novel of ghosts present and ghosts past, with alcoholics and dreamers and preachers and small town grifters all coming together in one place—the everywhere of guilt and consequence, the kudzu of our lives.”—Colum McCann, author of Apeirogon and Twist
“What Happened in Beulah cannot but remind us of what Hemingway said: ‘There is no friend as loyal as a book.’ Here, page after page, Christy Scott Cashman succeeds in making the reader hang onto the story as the drama on Beulah’s seemingly calm surface ruptures like a scene of serene rain that suddenly modulates into a rumbling thunderstorm. I’m sure the book will be a loyal friend to many readers.”—Patrick Kabanda, author of The Creative Wealth of Nations
