Bestselling Author Extols WHAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Meg Waite Clayton, nationally bestselling author of The Four Ms. Bradwells, The Wednesday Sisters, The Language of Light and (forthcoming) The Wednesday Daughters has reviewed Masha Hamilton’s upcoming release of What Changes Everything scheduled to be published in May. Below is what she had to say:
“Quite simply stunning. Every once in a while, a book comes along that makes you want to wrest even your own work from readers’ hands and command that they instead read this. Masha Hamilton’s What Changes Everything is that kind of amazing. Hamilton knows the surreal world that is present day Afghanistan firsthand, and she delivers the grief and love that world spills into our own with pace, grace, and—perhaps most surprisingly—humor. I held my breath through a kidnapping, and at women stepping beyond the boundaries allowed them, into the kind of danger that is necessary for change. I fell in love, improbably, with an Afghani aide-turned-negotiator and an American wielding spray paint in dark places on dark nights. I at turns laughed and cried at a mother’s attempts, through letters, to gain her son’s death the attention it deserves. In the end, I felt I understood some truth I had not brought with me to the book, and I felt uplifted, and hopeful that writing like this might, in fact, be a step toward changing everything.”
Ms. Hamilton has two other novels that have been published by Unbridled Books, The Distance Between Us, and 31 hours.
