Reviews
The Strange Case of Jane O. is a brilliant and unforgettable novel, at once a metaphysical thriller, a psychological mystery, and a profound love story-a book for every haunted heart. I couldn't put it down.Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Swamplandia!
In her brilliant and mesmerizing new novel, Karen Thompson Walker invites readers to consider the mystery of the human brain and asks thrilling and vital questions about perception, memory, consciousness, and the limits of our known world. Elegant, propulsive, ingeniously structured, and intellectually rich, The Strange Case of Jane O. is both mind-bending and soul-altering. I loved it.Jessamine Chan, NYT Bestselling author of The School for Good Mothers

Karen Thompson Walker has created an unputdownable book with a haunting twist ending I'll be thinking about for a long time.Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek
