"What a treat. I don't know of anyone who writes about family with the same generous understanding and gem-cut sentences as Dani Shapiro. Signal Fires confirms her as an artist of the highest order." --Gary Shteyngart "Wise, deeply perceptive, suffused with light in spite of life's darkness, Dani Shapiro's Signal Fires is an amazing novel. Shapiro inhabits her characters with rare lucidity and compassion, and renders their ordinary lives transcendent." --Claire Messud, A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: LitHub, BookPage, Library Journal, The Millions " Signal Fires is an urgent and compassionate meditation on memory, time, and space. Shapiro has created a world that's as wrenching as it is wondrous." --Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being " Signal Fires is a haunting, moving, and propulsive exploration of family secrets." --Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion "I don't know of anyone who writes about family with the same generous understanding and gem-cut sentences as Dani Shapiro. Signal Fires confirms her as an artist of the highest order." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "Wise, deeply perceptive, suffused with light in spite of life's darkness, Dani Shapiro's Signal Fires is an amazing novel. Shapiro inhabits her characters with lucidity and compassion, and renders their ordinary lives transcendent." --Claire Messud, author of The Woman Upstairs "[Shapiro's] well-developed characters and their interesting careers seal the deal." -- Kirkus Reviews "Acclaimed novelist/memoirist Shapiro ( Inheritance ) writes with compassion and a deep understanding of the damage that secrets wreak. Shapiro's first novel in 15 years was well worth the wait." -- Library Journal, "Wise, deeply perceptive, suffused with light in spite of life's darkness, Dani Shapiro's Signal Fires is an amazing novel. Shapiro inhabits her characters with rare lucidity and compassion, and renders their ordinary lives transcendent." --Claire Messud, A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: LitHub, BookPage, Library Journal, The Millions " Signal Fires is an urgent and compassionate meditation on memory, time, and space.

Shapiro's first novel in 15 years was well worth the wait." -- Library Journal "A beautiful exploration of the connections between two families and the reverberations from a teenager's lie . . . Shapiro imagines in luminous prose how each of the characters' lives might have gone if things had turned out differently . . . an intriguing meditation." -- Publishers Weekly, A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: LA Times, TIME, LitHub, BookPage, Library Journal, The Millions, She Reads " Signal Fires is an exquisitely-written, propulsive drama . . . Shapiro instills all of her characters with a generous humanity . . . one of my top reads of the year." --Elin Hilderbrand, author of 28 Summers " Signal Fires is an urgent and compassionate meditation on memory, time, and space. Shapiro has created a world that''s as wrenching as it is wondrous." --Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being " Signal Fires cuts a gleaming window into our alternate lives so meticulously and gloriously that it is quite nearly a primer on how to live not only in the present, but in the past and future as well. Shapiro has crafted a stunning future classic." --Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women " Signal Fires is a haunting, moving, and propulsive exploration of family secrets." --Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion "I don''t know of anyone who writes about family with the same generous understanding and gem-cut sentences as Dani Shapiro. Signal Fires confirms her as an artist of the highest order." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "Wise, deeply perceptive, suffused with light in spite of life''s darkness, Dani Shapiro''s Signal Fires is an amazing novel. Shapiro inhabits her characters with lucidity and compassion, and renders their ordinary lives transcendent." --Claire Messud, author of The Woman Upstairs " Signal Fires could only be written by Dani Shapiro--and only now, when she''s undoubtedly at the height of her powers. One gets the sense this is the story she has been building toward all these years: a parabolic family drama about the way certain moments echo through time. I''ll never stop thinking about it." -- Mary Laura Philpott , author of I Miss You When I Blink "Gripping, unexpected, heartbreaking, and beautiful . . . Shapiro explores life''s terms in a profound way." --Jamie Lee Curtis "The celebrated memoirist returns to fiction with a lyrical and propulsive novel in which a horrific crash leaves a young woman dead and the driver''s family closing ranks around him. The secrets and cover-ups that result will haunt the family for generations to come, but it''s the richly drawn characters and moody atmospheric that make the book hard to put down." -- Oprah Daily "Stunning in depth and breadth, this luminous examination of loss and acceptance, furtiveness and reliability, abandonment and friendship ultimately blazes with profound revelations . . . Like creating an intricate origami puzzle, Shapiro folds together the events that define these lives over decades, focusing on specific interludes to divulge old secrets or bury new ones. Returning to fiction after touching readers with her courageous and probing memoirs, including Inheritance , Shapiro delivers keen perceptions about family dynamics via fictional characters that exude a rare combination of substance and delicacy." -- Booklist [starred review] "A beautiful exploration of the connections between two families and the reverberations from a teenager''s lie . . . Shapiro imagines in luminous prose how each of the characters'' lives might have gone if things had turned out differently." -- Publishers Weekly "[Shapiro''s] well-developed characters and their interesting careers seal the deal." -- Kirkus Reviews "Acclaimed novelist/memoirist Shapiro ( Inheritance ) writes with compassion and a deep understanding of the damage that secrets wreak.
