East Hope:
“Katharine Davis has written an utterly irresistible novel, suffused with the special light and clarity of Maine. A book about second chances and real love, with characters as complicated as we really are. I couldn’t put it down.”
–Lee Smith, New York Times bestselling author of On Agate Hill
“Katharine Davis has created an elegant and complelling tale about loss, love, and of course, hope. Her characters are rich, her story is gripping, and her prose beautiful and effortless.”
–Joanne Rendell, author of Crossing Washington Square
“East Hope is a charming love story, delightfully old-fashioned with a very modern twist. Katharine Davis captures Maine not just as a setting but as the character it is.”
–Lily King, author of The English Teacher
“Katharine Davis’s captivating novel of loss and recovery follows a forty-four-year-old woman from a long-settled life into one that is anything but certain. The author’s clean prose suits the spare setting in which most of this struggle takes place –a small seaside village in Maine. Her keen sensitivity to the people and countryside in that remote place vividly evokes its power to reshape her character’s life, slowly but radically, much as the sea reshapes the shoreline.”
–Kate Maloy, author of Every Last Cuckoo
“Davis’s lyrical prose brings authenticity to the journey of two lonely souls trying to reinvent themselves in middle age.”
