Mount Verity

“Bohman evokes a strong sense of place, rendering the landscape as both magical and tangible. There’s much to savor in this slow-burning meditation on a family tragedy.” —Publishers Weekly

“Bohman…takes an oft-written narrative and gives it a mysteriousness and elegance, weaving Swedish lore into a deeply emotional story of grief, loss, and the transition to acceptance, and once again shows herself to be a skilled author with a penchant for reaching under the surface of humanity to the complex, tragic, but often beautiful layers hiding within us.” —Booklist

“Both naturalistic and lyrical, [Mount Verity] includes nuanced depictions of young adulthood, sexuality, traumatic memory, and self-expression. The prose is both evocative and restrained…The novel’s pacing and structure heighten the sense of longing and unresolved tension…dreamy and intimate.” —Foreword Reviews
