"A smart and powerful thriller." --Chris Bohjalian, author of "Midwives" "Arresting. . . . Astute. . . . Hyde is an author who should be with us for some time." --Anita Shreve, "The Washington Post Book World" "Darkly witty. . . . ["The Abortionist's Daughter"] accordions out into a suspense story and a comic noir, a novel of manners and an improbable romance. . . . Striking." --Maureen Corrigan, "Fresh Air" (NPR) "In keeping with the truly best writers, Hyde examines both sides of the issue, but offers only questions that probe deep into the secret hearts of readers everywhere. For answers, they will have to turn to themselves. . . . Compelling and timely. . . . A must-read." --"The Denver Post" " A smart and powerful thriller.& quot; -- Chris Bohjalian, author of Midwives " Arresting. . . . Astute. . . .

A must-read." -- "The Denver Post" "Do you remember the excitement you felt when you read "Presumed Innocent" and discovered Scott Turow? I felt exactly that way as I read "The Abortionist's Daughter." Elisabeth Hyde is a dynamic storyteller and an elegant stylist-and I savored every moment of this smart and powerful thriller." --Chris Bohjalian, author of "Midwives" and "Before You Know Kindness" "This is ferociously paced, up-all-night suspense, an exquisitely wrought murder mystery that's also richly layered and morally complex, as intelligent and provocative as it is impossible to put down. Elisabeth Hyde is a master." --Joseph Finder, author of "Company Man" and "Killer Instinct " "When a headstrong mother and teenage daughter collide, the result is murder. But Elisabeth Hyde's witty and original family drama is more than that-it is a whodunit of the heart." --April Smith, author of "Good Morning, Killer" and "North of Montana " " Hyde thoughtfully explores the illusion of choice and spins a tale rife with tragic consequences. . . . What a pleasure it is to read this well-crafted novel with complicated characters and interesting ideas." --"Boston Sunday Globe " "It is precisely Elisabeth Hyde's arresting prose and astute observations about family life that elevate her fourth novel to domestic tragedy. . . . Hyde is an author who should be with us for some time." --"The Washington Post Book World " "Hyde does a terrific job fleshing out her characters and dissecting all their problems. . . . A satisfying story." --"USA Today " ""The Abortionist's Daughter" explores the subtleties of belief, in the ways in which even seeming extremists can amend and alter theirconvictions without losing them. . . . Political controversy aside, this is a mystery that works, one whose turns are neither obvious nor illogical . . . and Hyde's ability to grapple with loaded issues without putting the story second is impressive." --"The Austin Chronicle " "In keeping with the truly best writers, Hyde examines both sides of the issue, but offers only questions that probe deep into the secret hearts of readers everywhere. For answers, they will have to turn to themselves. . . . It is this judicious handling of such a compelling and timely subject that makes "The Abortionist's Daughter" the first must-read of the summer." --"The Denver Post " "Hyde treads controversial territory with delicacy and precision." --"The Baltimore Sun " "A great summer read." --Minneapolis "Star Tribune ""This is an exceptionally well-written book that pulls the reader nicely along right up until the surprise ending." --"Library Journal" "An intriguing story. The relationships Diana had with her family and associates are carefully disclosed in a way that adds credibility to the plot and depth to the characters." --MysteriousReviews.com "From the Hardcover edition."
Reseña del editor
`The problem was Megan had just taken the second half of her ecstasy when her father called with the news' Nineteen-year-old university student Megan Thompson is beautiful, cool, clever and sexy - the kind of girl boys fall in love with. She's mostly steered clear of family life since the death of her younger brother. That is until the day she hears her mother, Diana, has been found floating face down in their swimming pool. Diana, as Director of the Center for Reproductive Choice, was a national figure who inspired passions and made enemies. Detective Huck Berlin is brought in to investigate the case when it becomes clear that Diana was murdered. Several people have quarrelled with Diana on that fateful day, not least Frank, her husband of twenty years, and her wayward child. Now father and daughter are thrown together in an unexpected twist of family life. Set in a small town in Colorado, The Abortionist's Daughter is an utterly compelling novel of family secrets, dark passion and, ultimately, catharsis for those whose lives have become so strangely entwined. 'A remarkably lucid and authoritative novelist' John Irving 'Like Anne Tyler, Hyde captures the quirky, heartbreaking core of a character and puts it on the page with shining prose' Publishers Weekly
