4 out of 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pre-pub reviews for Bill Clegg’s DID YOU EVER HAVE A FAMILY
“Sorrowful and deeply probing debut novel…Clegg’s deft handling of all the parsed details – missed opportunities, harbored regrets, and unspoken good intentions – that make the journey toward redemption and forgiveness so memorable.” — Publishers Weekly, “Pick of the Week,” ⭐️ STARRED REVIEW
“An attempt to map how the unbearable is borne, elegantly written and bravely imagined.” – Kirkus, ⭐️ STARRED REVIEW
“Clegg is both delicately lyrical and emotionally direct in this masterful novel…Both ineffably sad and deeply inspiring, this mesmerizing novel makes for a powerful debut.” — Booklist, ⭐️ STARRED REVIEW
“A propulsive but tightly crafted narrative… reveal[s] the fine-grained sorrows of the human condition, rendered in polished, quietly captivating prose. As the stories emerge, so do their connections—and the idea of connection itself…. Readers may come to this debut novel because of agent/memoirist Clegg’s reputation, but they’ll stay for the stellar language and storytelling. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, ⭐️ STARRED REVIEW
