Reviews
Salon , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year Library Journal , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year "It's well past time for another cult-y novel to take us by storm, and Time's Mouth very well may be it." --Julia Hass, Literary Hub , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year "Edan Lepucki's new novel is an astonishing achievement. This sweeping intergenerational saga has California cults and communes, mystics and astral travel, but it's also a profound and moving exploration of family--the way it both wounds and heals us, the ways we both long for and run from its embrace. Written in crystalline prose that is as wise as it is witty, Time's Mouth left me breathless with admiration." --Dan Chaon, author of Sleepwalk "Edan Lepucki's engrossing third novel tackles so much about the physical and psychic terrain of California, with its hippies and hipsters, its oil derricks and redwoods. It's a beautiful book about a much-mythologized place, but its heart lives much closer to home: in the real and complex bond between parent and child." --Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind "Novels like Time's Mouth are rare: it's both delightful and emotional. Beyond the pleasures of time-travel, all-female cults, and an ominous look at California's legacy of mysticism, the heart of Time's Mouth is a story of mothers and daughters. Edan Lepucki writes with insight and deep pathos about the gifts and curses passed down over generations, and of time's ability not only to injure but to heal." --Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter, Salon , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year Library Journal , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year "It's well past time for another cult-y novel to take us by storm, and Time's Mouth very well may be it." --Julia Hass, Literary Hub , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year "Lepucki's prose is tactile, sensual, nimble--precise and full of pleasures. Time's Mouth is an engrossing novel and a sprawling work of imagination." --Charles Yu, National Book Award-winning author of Interior Chinatown "Stunningly original and deeply human, Time's Mouth is one of those books that's impossible not to love. It's a little magical, a little emotional, but most of all a meditation on loss and longing and the search for meaning in an inexplicable universe. I'm an Edan Lepucki fan, and this is her best book yet." --Janelle Brown, author of I'll Be You "Edan Lepucki's new novel is an astonishing achievement.

The novel is a page-turning exploration of the intergenerational trauma of this very specific family with its unique gift, and the ways each new generation tries to heal itself . . . One of California's most anticipated books of the summer." --Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times "Spanning decades and tracking the evolution of, and recovery from, intergenerational trauma, Time's Mouth is a dreamy, heartfelt tearjerker." --Arianna Rebolini, Bustle "It's well past time for another cult-y novel to take us by storm, and Time's Mouth very well may be it." --Julia Hass, Literary Hub , A Most Anticipated Book of the Year "Lepucki's prose is tactile, sensual, nimble--precise and full of pleasures.
