From Edgar Award nominee Debra Jo Immergut, a taut, twisting work of suspense about a woman haunted by her younger selfAbigail Willard first spots her from the back of a New York cab: the spitting image of Abby herself at age twenty-two—right down to the silver platforms and raspberry coat she wore as a young artist with a taste for wildness. Her entries are evocatively written, keenly self-aware, and peppered with artful observations that lend the story texture, vibrancy, and depth. But the real Abby is now forty-six and married, with a corporate job and two kids. LITERARY FICTION Having lived my entire life in New York City, I greatly enjoyed how Brooklyn and Manhattan were portrayed, both the grittier New York of the 80’s and the more antiseptic New York of today. As he did in his previous novels, Rich and Pretty (2016) and That Kind of Mother (2018), Alam shows an impressive facility for getting into his characters’ heads and an enviable empathy for their moral shortcomings, emotional limitations, and failures of imagination. feels eerily relevant, perfect for this time of deep uncertainty and rapidly shifting news. “You Again” is an alluring mystery from Immergut, whose first novel, “The Captives,” was nominated for an Edgar Award. But Immergut writes well about the kind of weary, inchoate longing that can grow to define a long-term marriage.

All Rights Reserved. Trying to crack the Abigail case is the job of the novel’s secondary cast. | All the while, Abby’s life starts to slip from her control: her marriage hits major turbulence, her teenage son drifts into a radical movement that portends a dark coming era. Abigail’s husband, Dennis, loses his job, and her son, Pete, falls in with an antifascist group and vandalizes a house in Brooklyn. An interrupted family vacation, unexpected visitors, a mysterious blackout—something is happening, and the world may never be the same. You Again is an audaciously constructed novel, an unboxing of memory, desire, and regret—and an electrifying portrait of a woman hurtling toward a key crossroads in her life, where a secret lies buried like an undetonated bomb.
‧ Immergut’s busy jumble of plotlines doesn’t quite cohere or resolve the nature of the sightings, and the overwrought prose doesn’t help (“the rain taps my scalp with tiny wet fingers”), but there is plenty of suspense and intrigue.
