Reviews

'A beguiling, promising debut. Serious, sometimes horrific developments are lightened by touches of understated, salty wit in Moran's fact-based historical, a fresh and unusual story.' Kirkus Reviews
        'Intriguing and evocative...It's Margaret surviving the wilderness, Nancy overcoming grief and the two women bonding that give this book its heart and should make this a book group winner' Publishers Weekly
        'Equal parts love story and courtroom drama, Johanna Moran's "The Wives of Henry Oades" is a compelling story of good people caught in impossible circumstances, and a community that rushes to judge rather than to understand.' Meg Waite Clayton, author of the bestseller "The Wednesday Sisters"
        'A stellar debut novel. A delicious and painful tale of marriage, suffering, tolerance and sacrifice - a historical saga seen through the lens of two wives, one husband, and the disapproving, cantankerous rabble at the end of Victorian America.' Jamie Ford, bestselling author of "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet"
