Hannah Pittard’s beautifully confident prose is sure to make readers look back on their own teenage years with fresh wonder.”—Vendela Vida, author of The Lovers Already acclaimed for her short fiction—a McSweeney’s Amanda Davis Highwire Fiction Award winner whose work was selected by Salman Rushdie for inclusion in 2008 Best American Short Stories’ 100 Distinguished Stories—Hannah Pittard proves herself a master of long form fiction as well with her haunting, masterfully crafted debut novel, The Fates Will Find Their Way.
