Praise for Ashland

 

An Indie Next Pick

 

“Like a modern Thornton Wilder with a touch of Faulkner... With quiet lyricism and deep compassion, Simon brings to life the complexity, melancholy, and hope that are braided into the human spirit.”—Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree

“It is often the stories that go unspoken which carry the most weight and influence in our lives. Dan Simon captures this ethos brilliantly in Ashland, his restrained prose belying the rich undercurrents of the characters who reside in this titular, halfway town. Simon is a bright, attentive new voice in the pastoral canon.”—Shannon Bowring, author of The Dalton Novels

“Multilayered and richly evocative... Powerfully poetic, this novel serves as a cross section of the Granite state, a testament to American virtues—and flaws.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred)

“A poetic, psychological, original take on the ways we are all affected and connected by how and where we live.”—Beverly Gologorsky, author of The Things We Do to Make It Home

Ashland is remarkable for its range of acutely observed characters and its rich evocation of the landscape and weather of New Hampshire. Simon creates a tapestry of voices and tones with extraordinary skill and emotional resonance.”—Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn
