         -- Booklist , starred review

"The stirring story of one woman''s quest for justice. . . Lawhon combines modern prose with the immediacy of her source material, making for an accessible and textured narrative. This accomplished historical powerfully speaks to centuries-old inequities that remain in the present day."
         -- Publishers Weekly

"A thoroughly engaging, rich story with a murder mystery; secrets, gossip, and hypocrisy; a corrupt judge; a tightly knit community of villagers; women at the mercy of a patriarchal society; and the early stages of a developing justice system following the Revolutionary War. . . Turn the last page, and you will want more of this world she has created."
         -- Historical Novel Society

" The Frozen River is so vivid, so textured and multilayered, that I felt I''d opened a door and entered post-revolutionary America, walking beside Lawhon''s compelling characters in a time and place riven by hardship, disease, and misogyny, but also intense love and searing natural beauty. This novel was unlike anything I''d read before, and it left me awe-struck."

Lawhon carries us into the heart of the French resistance [and] into the mind of a badass heroine with uncanny instincts who takes on the Nazis and men''s arrogant sexism with uncommon bravado. . . Even long after the last page is turned, this astonishing story of Wake''s accomplishments will hold readers in its grip."

         -- Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis and Surviving Savannah

"Was Anna Anderson really the only survivor of the Romanovs or was she a persistent fraud? Somehow, Lawhon, a masterly writer, not only leads her readers to ponder this riddle, but to care about it as well. This is a deft and deeply moving saga."
         -- Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean

"I don''t know what''s most impressive about I Was Anastasia : the wildly inventive structure, the ferocious heroine (or is it two?), or the dark, twisted questions it raises about the stories we tell--both to others and to ourselves. Ariel Lawhon has written a gorgeous, haunting puzzle of a book that will grip you until the final page."
