The Appearance of Annie Van Sinderen

Reviews / Votes

'Howe has a historian's sure grasp of period detail as well as a keen ear for contemporary dialogue...Annie is a sassy heroine who takes the unfamiliarity of being dead and the wonders of new technology in her stride'. * Independent * 'Lush, twisty and spellbinding, Katherine Howe's The Appearance of Annie van Sinderen will keep you up all night and not let you go in the morning. Utterly beguiling from beginning to end.' -- Megan Abbott, award-winning author of <i>Dare Me</i> and <i>The Fever</i> 'Hauntingly etched, creating an eeriness that lingers after the novel's romantic ending.' * <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review * 'This strange and gorgeous novel is rich with humor, ghosts, art, and true love, but I think I loved it best for its characters: a group of loyal friends who ricochet together through the streets of a hummingly alive New York City, searching for a lost ring, a devastating secret, and, most of all, for the people they want to become.' -- Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of <i>The Precious One</i>, <i>Belong to Me</i>, and <i>Saving Lucas Biggs</i> 'A tautly paced page-turner that blends historical fiction, romance, and the supernatural.' * <i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review *
