Review Quotes:
"As an act of gothic prophecy Wither is deliriously unsettling--as a work of satirical brilliance, Wither is a staggering achievement. Warner's debut is an irresistible enchantment of the bleakest, funniest kind." --Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of THE BRIEF AND WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO and THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE HER
"Wither is superb. Absolutely captivating and brutally clear-eyed. What a horribly crisp mirror of a book. I loved it." --Sarah Gailey, bestselling author of SPREAD ME and MAKE ME BETTER
