"The menace in this moody, meticulously plotted debut lies not in preposterous plot twists, but within the mysteries of dysfunctional families, close-knit neighborhoods harboring dark secrets, and adolescents' imperfect and sometimes disastrous, understanding of the world of adults." -- Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review, on A Crooked Tree "I was quickly brought under the spell of this novel, which is filled with pathos, nostalgia, and the best kind of suspense. Una Mannion has beautifully captured the experience of being a child on the verge of adulthood, struggling to fill in the gaps in her understanding of the world around her without much help or mentorship. This is a novel about the way that adults fail children, but also about the moment a child first understands that the adults around her are human--and the empathy that comes with that realization." -- Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Long Bright River, on A Crooked Tree "A Crooked Tree is completely entrancing--as suspenseful as a good thriller, steeped in an aching nostalgia but unflinchingly sharp-sighted. I tore through this novel." -- Julia Pierpont, New York Times bestselling author of Among the Ten Thousand Things, on A Crooked Tree "Beautifully written with tenderness and wisdom, A Crooked Tree is at once an urgent, propulsive study of grief, anger, and family secrets, and a tightly wound coming-of-age story filled with complexity and grace. This is an accomplished book, and Libby Gallagher is one of the best young narrators I've met in years." -- Elizabeth Wetmore, New York Times bestselling author of Valentine, on A Crooked Tree "Suspenseful, affecting, and disarmingly evocative of childhood and the not-so-distant era of the 1980s." -- Kirkus Reviews on A Crooked Tree "A Crooked Tree is a fiercely compelling novel about young people staring into a gritty adult world and fighting for their place in it. I couldn't stop reading because I had to find out what happened to these kids. Una Mannion shoots the lights out with this thrilling literary debut." -- Patrick Ryan, author The Dream Life of Astronauts "A brilliant novel. Every page is rich in atmosphere, every character is vividly described." -- Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither, "The menace in this moody, meticulously plotted debut lies not in preposterous plot twists, but within the mysteries of dysfunctional families, close-knit neighborhoods harboring dark secrets, and adolescents' imperfect and sometimes disastrous, understanding of the world of adults." -- Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review, on A Crooked Tree "I was quickly brought under the spell of this novel, which is filled with pathos, nostalgia, and the best kind of suspense.

Tell Me What I Am is the kind of richly drawn, achingly atmospheric crime novel you can totally immerse yourself in." -- Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End "Tell Me What I Am by Una Mannion is very VERY good. About the impact on her family when a woman disappears, it's vividly real. The writing is beautiful, the emotions are conveyed exquisitely. There's love here as well as pain." -- Marian Keyes, New York Times bestselling author of Sushi for Beginners and Grown Ups "This beautiful, haunting novel beats with the heart of a thriller, but is so much more. Una Mannion is a writer of extraordinary talent, compassion and power." -- Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses, "I tore through this book with my heart in my throat, desperate to know what happens, but also not wanting it to end. It's the perfect combination of really good writing, a propulsive plot, and fully realized characters. I'll read anything Una Mannion writes." -- Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes and The Half Moon "Sharp, poignant, thrilling and moving . . . . Tell Me What I Am is the kind of richly drawn, achingly atmospheric crime novel you can totally immerse yourself in." -- Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End "Tell Me What I Am by Una Mannion is very VERY good.

Una Mannion is a writer of extraordinary talent, compassion and power." -- Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses "[In] this outstanding mystery . . . . Mannion expertly intertwines Nessa and Ruby's stories via visceral, close-third-person narration that alternates perspectives, and weaves through time to build tension and dole out reveals. Her subtly shaded characters add nuance and poignancy. This artful slow burn should earn Mannion new fans." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) ". . . a cleverly paced, slow burning psychological thriller steeped in family secrets . . . . Mannion's use of language is spare and unembellished, adding a seamless fit to the dark tenor of the story . . . . A deep-probing, layered story undulating through the shadows of domestic violence, Tell Me What I Am is a finely wrought psychological thriller that will intrigue the discerning reader . . . . It will surely provide a lively topic for book club discussion." -- The New York Journal of Books, "Quietly powerful. . . . A compelling portrait of a fractured family and a sister's never-ending search for justice." -- New York Times "Sharp, poignant, thrilling and moving . . . .

Una Mannion is a writer of extraordinary talent, compassion and power." -- Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses "Mannion creates a haunting and deeply moving portrayal of the complexities of domestic abuse, family relationships and grief." -- The Observer (London) "Mannion creates an emotionally charged yet gently paced thriller that evokes the doubt and anguish that arise after uncertain loss. . . . Through a relentlessly tempestuous coming-of-age journey, Ruby emerges as a strong, capable young adult." -- Booklist (starred review) "The novel's great strength lies in its arresting portrait of adolescence . . . . Socially conscious . . . . Between Nessa's rage and the novel's repeated references to troubled, abusive men -- from Boko Haram to Dick Cheney to the murderers of Medusa, Tell Me What I Am demands an answer about a state-of-mind as well as an identity." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "A sure-footed and emotionally complex second novel . . . . Her language is beautifully descriptive while her story has all the pacy elements of a thriller." -- The Irish Times "Mannion creates a haunting and deeply moving portrayal of the complexities of domestic abuse, family relationships and grief." -- The Guardian "Propulsive and richly atmospheric." -- Irish Independent "Compelling . . . . Mannion writes with a lyrical economy that stands out, and always shows a deep empathy for her well-drawn characters." -- Irish Examiner "A wrenching portrait of the umbilical bond between mother and child and, more powerfully still, an icily persuasive account of the subtle dark arts of male coercion and abuse." -- Daily Mail (London)
Synopsis
WINNER OF THE CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION'S GOLD DAGGER AWARD "Sharp, poignant, thrilling and moving . . . . Tell Me What I Am is the kind of richly drawn, achingly atmospheric crime novel you can totally immerse yourself in."--Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark Two women wrenched apart by a family member's disappearance must find a way back to each other in this haunting page-turner by the author of A Crooked Tree. Nessa Garvey's sister Deena vanished without a trace in Philadelphia in 2004. In all that time, Nessa has never once doubted what her instincts told her: her sister's ex-husband has gotten away with an unspeakable crime. Nessa's niece, Ruby, is raised by her father, the man Nessa suspects, in rural Vermont, on the shores of Lake Champlain. Ruby learns how to hunt, how the plants and trees grow, how to avoid making her father angry. The one question she longs to ask is the one she knows she cannot voice: What really happened to her mother? Over fourteen years, four hundred miles apart, these two women slowly begin to unearth the family history of insidious power and control that has shaped them both in such different ways. But can they reach each other in time? Tell Me What I Am is a riveting, indelible tour de force of buried secrets and unlikely resilience.
