“Both riveting and profound. . . . An incredibly suspenseful novel.”
“A masterpiece of tension and tenderness.”

“Haigh deals with complex moral issues in subtle ways, and her narrative is beautifully, sometimes achingly poignant.”

“Haigh’s fourth novel draws you in. . . . You’ll be hypnotized until you know where it stops.”
“FAITH is so emotionally rich, and its story so deftly delivered, that we’re absorbed.”
“Expertly wrought. . . . Ms. Haigh, a subtle, serious novelist who happens to have a flair for capturing troubled family dynamics, never allows FAITH to become predictable. . . . Gripping. . . . Substantial.”
