How Lucky: By Will Leitch | Book Review Podcast

How Lucky: By Will Leitch Website: https://gobookmart.com “A lovely book. Set in Athens, Georgia, the novel is a model of verisimilitude.  It is also beautifully written and suspenseful, at the same time being all about goodness and caring without once being sappy, or, well, sentimental.  And that is a rare feat in fiction.”  -- Booklist (starred review) "I'm reading a fantastic novel by Will Leitch called How Lucky. Publishes in May, I think. It's suspenseful and often wildly funny. You are going to like this a lot, and I think a lot of you are going to like it. It has that Where the Crawdads Sing vibe." -- Stephen King “What’s more thrilling than a fictional character speaking to us in a voice we haven’t heard before, a voice so authentic and immediate - think Huck Finn, Holden Caulfield, Mattie Ross - that we suspect it must’ve been there all along, that we somehow managed to miss it?  Daniel, the protagonist of Will Leitch’s smart, funny, heartbreaking new novel How Lucky, is just such a voice, and I’m not sure it will ever completely leave my head, or that I want it to.”   -- Richard Russo “How Lucky is a gem: a riveting plot and a narrator who is charming, engaging, and downright inspiring. Will Leitch brilliantly juggles hilarity and horror. I loved this novel — every page.” -- Chris Bohjalian, #1 Bestselling Author of The Flight Attendant and Hour of the Witch
