Reviews of The Lifeboat
An enthralling story of survival at sea... . One hell of a debut.
-- Jonathan Raban, New York Review of Books
An eerie, powerful debut you'll want to race through, but try to resist the urge. A slower read reveals a psychological depth that'll leave you thinking.
-- Helen Rogan, People
Impressive, harrowing first novel... [Grace] narrates the book with panache - and a good dose of unreliability... Rogan writes viscerally about the desperate condition of the castaway... But it's her portrait of Grace, who is by turns astute, conniving, comic and affecting, that drive the book... As Rogan proves with this indelible character, there's a profound truth and even beauty in Grace's degree of self-loyalty.
-- Sarah Towers, The New York Times Book Review
