'This summer I'm planning to read We Are Called to Rise by Laura McBride, because my wife says it's gorgeous and devastating'-- Guardian, Best Holiday Reads 2014
'The lives of an immigrant boy, a soldier returned from Iraq and a middle-aged woman whose life is falling apart, collide in this remarkable debut'-- Marie Claire
'In this beautiful and emotional read the lives of people from very different backgrounds (from a foster child to a war veteran) collide in an amazing coincidence'--Company
'The lives of an immigrant boy, a soldier returned from Iraq and a middle-aged woman whose life is falling apart, collide in this remarkable debut'--Red
'This book is compelling, emotional and heart-breaking all at the same time and the author has created a wonderful story about people. How they feel, how they respond to the devastating trials life throws at them and, crucially, how they are able to rebuild themselves' --The Sun
''Las Vegas is the setting, but rather than bright lights, this tells the story of four troubled strangers, whose lives collide after a tragedy. Narrated by each well-drawn character and cleverly plotted to lead to a central point, it packs a raw, emotional power' --Sunday Mirror
'Like Donna Tartt's... The Goldfinch, it strips a layer of gloss off the Las Vegas myth by moving to the families populating suburbia. A woman in a flagging marriage, an army vet and an eight-year old immigrant are the unlikely narrative trio' --Grazia
An accessible, beautifully crafted and heartbreakingly topical novel about PTSI and the unseen effects of global conflict on ordinary lives. Beyond the bright lights and casinos lies the real Las Vegas, a forces town. In the predawn hours, a woman's marriage crumbles with a single confession. Across the city, Bashkim, the young son of an immigrant family, observes how they are struggling to get by in the land of opportunity. Three thousand miles away on the other side of the United States, a soldier, recently returned from active service in Iraq, wakes up in hospital with the feeling he's done something awful. In Laura McBride's heartbreaking and authentic novel, these disparate lives are brought together by one split-second choice; this is a story about families, the ones we are born to and the ones we choose to make. Faced with seemingly insurmountable loss, each person must decide whether to give in to despair, or to find the courage and resilience to rise.
