Critics Review
The world Yanagihara conjures up, full of dark pockets of mystery, is magical. * The Times *
Impossible to resist * Daily Mail *
Absorbing, intelligent and uncompromising * Independent *
Power and its abuses are at the heart of this richly imagined novel … In structure and subject, The People in the Trees pays tribute to Vladimir Nabokov’s two masterpieces: Pale Fire and Lolita … Perina’s voice – wry, superior, unthinkingly cruel – is one of the key triumphs of the book. – Katie Kitamura * The Guardian *
Dazzling … A triumph of the imagination – Anthony Doerr
An engrossing, beautifully detailed, at times amazing (and shocking) novel … I loved this book. – Paul Theroux
Suspenseful … Yanagihara is a writer to marvel at. * The New York Times *
A standout novel, a debut as thrilling as it is disturbing * The Wall Street Journal *
Captivating and thoroughly unsettling * Vogue *
