Wingshooters (Akashic Books)
Nina Revoyr returns to Skylight to launch her new novel, Wingshooters. We're really excited about this new book and thrilled to be holding the launch party!
"Revoyr does a remarkable
job of conveying [protagonist] Michelle's lost innocence and fear
through this accomplished story of family and the dangers of complacency
in the face of questionable justice."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Revoyr writes
rhapsodically of a young girl's enthrallment to the natural world and
charts, with rising intensity, her resilient narrator's painful
awakening to human failings and senseless violence. In this shattering
northern variation on To Kill A Mockingbird, Revoyr drives to the very heart of tragic ignorance, unreason, and savagery."
--Booklist, Starred Review
