Lydia Fitzpatrick liked J Kromrie's review of In the Blind: A Novel: "Thanks to Alfred A. Knopf and Netgalley for this eARC. In the Blind is a quiet, unsettling mystery that works its way under the skin—not through shock tactics, but through atmosphere, memory, and the emotional gravity of returning to a place you once" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Lydia Fitzpatrick (?)

“...and he could still feel it- that happiness for him was like a dog chained to a stake, that whenever he let it run, he’d be yanked back, but still he let it run for a second and tried not to brace himself for the pull of the chain.”

“He thought of her standing in the dark by the pool. Sometimes she looked at him too, and if there wasn’t necessarily affection there, there was at least a measure of curiosity. And she had touched his arm at Star Pilgrim. She had sat next to him in the car. Small things, sure, but taken together they began to add up.”
― Lydia Fitzpatrick, Lights All Night Long
