“Troubling, sinuous and powerfully told, you won’t be able to stop turning the pages.”—Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me

“Exceptional…Helena’s conflicting emotions about her father and her own identity elevate this powerful story.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“If you only read one thriller this year, make it The Marsh King’s Daughter. Its sensational.”—Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go

“A masterpiece of crisp prose and fine storytelling.”—Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants and At the Water’s Edge
 
“[A] well-crafted, eerie, and unnerving psychological thriller. With a strong setting and swift pacing, this novel is recommended for readers who enjoyed Emma Donoghue’s Room and Travis Mulhauser’s Sweetgirl.”—Library Journal
 
“[W]ill keep readers gripped until the end…For fans of Emma Donoghue’s Room and of novels with strong female leads.”—Booklist

“Expertly written, gripping, compulsively readable.”—Melanie Benjamin, author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue

“I don’t use the word ‘brilliant’ often, but no other adjective feels adequate…It’s an understatement to say that The Marsh King’s Daughter is an exceptional achievement.”—David Morrell, author of Murder as a Fine Art; creator of the iconic character Rambo
 
“Everything I could ask for in a psychological thriller: a stunningly fresh and confident voice, gorgeous writing, originality, and a complex protagonist I could really root for. I wish it were possible to read a book for the first time more than once.”—Carla Buckley, author of The Deepest Secret
