「一個強有力、文筆精湛、又與眾不同的故事。我不經常用『必讀』這個詞,但是對於這本書我要說:這是一本必讀作品!」──賈斯.斯坦 (Garth Stein),暢銷小說《我在雨中等你》作者
「我太喜歡這本書了……在閱讀的過程中我感覺迷失了自我,等我讀完的時候我感覺自己完全變了一個人……就好像茱迪.皮考特(《姐姐的守護者》作者)和安.派契特(Ann Patchett,《奇蹟之邦》作者)一樣棒。對我來說,這是一個關於毀滅和重造的故事,是諾拉在童年時被毀滅、長大後重新塑造自己的故事,讀者一定會喜歡這本書。」──Linda Yuknavitch,《The Book of Joan》作者
“The Night Child is a powerful, heart-wrenching psychological tale…Characters are extremely well developed, especially Nora, whose difficulties connecting with people, be they her unfaithful husband or her energetic daughter, feel realistic…Though it is emotionally challenging to read, The Night Child’s gentle dealings with heavy subjects highlight the fragility of the human mind and the intense journeys required to heal deep wounds.”──Foreword Reviews
“Quinn’s first novel sensitively explores a deteriorating mental-health condition…Haunting psychological suspense for readers who enjoy a generous dose of creepiness without being completely scared out of their wits. Fans of John Searles will be pleased.”──Library Journal
“This book is about one woman’s journey to save herself. As David says, the healing should come from within–this is portrayed brilliantly by Quinn in this book. This is a completely plot-driven book and you should definitely read it if you like fast-paced novels!”──This is Lit Book Review Blog
“This is a short novel which packs a punch. I enjoyed the characters of Nora, David and Margaret. This book is really character driven – more so a character study of one woman’s’ life as everything unravels at once. This is a well written dark book… hard to put down. I put this on my currently reading list the end of July but I actually read the entire book today in one sitting. I had to keep reading to learn how this story would unfold.”──Open Book Post Book Review Blog
