It is an unforgettable novel, and leaves the reader in no doubt that Kushner is one of Americas greatest living authors. * Daily Telegraph * One of the greatest novels I have read in years. Her prior novel, The Flamethrowers, was expansive and thrilling, but this is richer and deeper, more ambitious in its moral vision an exhilarating, always surprising read. * Irish Times * When I finished reading The Mars Room, I immediately reread it because I didnt want to leave its world The Mars Room teems with quick and distinctive voices. -- Max Liu * Financial Times * Cements [Kushner's] status as one of America's finest writers. * Vogue, **Must-Read Books of 2018** * Ive been bowled over by Rachel Kushners The Mars Room [about life in a womens prison]. Its astounding very difficult to read but so beautifully done, and with such knowledge, although it doesnt feel like a researched book. -- Anne Tyler * Observer *
