Where to start reading Mary Lawson

Beloved by book clubs and a perfect next read for fans of Anne Tyler, Elizabeth Strout and Alice Munro, Mary Lawson's work deftly and poignantly evokes the tightly woven units of small-town communities and families, navigating their joys and sorrows, their traumas and their loves. The characters are unforgettable and their stories endlessly revisitable. With simple language but intricate plotting, these novels address the complexities of human life in all its comedy and tragedy.  If you're looking for the best place to start, look no further than her most recent Booker longlistee, A Town Called Solace, or Lawson's internationally bestselling debut: Crow Lake.
