The Strange Case of Jane O.

An extraordinary book. The author takes familiar psychological thriller tropes and throws them up in the air to produce something truly original … The flawless storytelling is shared by Jane and Dr Byrd, and produces a narrative that successfully operates on several levels - simultaneously asking questions about the nature of being alive while still being a good old-fashioned page-turner. * Daily Mail *
Both moving and unexpected … An unusual, involving read. Jane’s case is strange indeed; more than that, it lingers in the mind. * Guardian *
A mesmerizing tale about the mysteries of the brain, the limits of rationality and the magic of love. * People Magazine *
A novel that begins quietly becomes an exhilarating and riveting must-read and then read-again. * Kirkus starred review *
Heart-expanding … brilliantly-crafted. If you enjoyed Kazuo Ishaguro’s Never Let Me Go, Stephen Gosz’s non-fiction The Examined Life, or The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks, then I think you’ll love this novel. * Florence Knapp, author of THE NAMES *
A tantalising and satisfying mystery. * Claire Fuller *
Mesmerising. * My Weekly *
Part deep psychological drama, part twisty, sci-fi-laced mystery, this genre-bending tale is like nothing we’ve read before … when Jane disappears, her case ramps up into a true mystery, stacked with genius, jaw-dropping twists … By the time Walker had us hunting for Jane throughout NYC through snippets of CCTV footage, we were questioning reality on every level - and loving every minute of it. * Apple, Best Book of the Month *
The Strange Case of Jane O. is a brilliant and unforgettable novel, at once a metaphysical thriller, a psychological mystery, and a profound love story-a book for every haunted heart. I couldn’t put it down. * Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Swamplandia! *
A page-turning mystery that’s simultaneously moving and often nail-biting. * BookPage *
