Lauren Acampora Author Talk

Lauren Acampora presents her newly-launched novel, The Hundred Waters. The critical praise keeps coming!

“Questions of the pursuit of art, stagnation, youth and aging, and how to exist on a planet that is, increasingly, made up solely of emergencies, are grounded in the richness (no pun intended) of Sylvie and Louisa’s characters. And, as in The Paper Wasp, Acampora’s descriptions of the strangeness of artworks are not to be missed.”  —Lit Hub, Best Summer Reads

“A thrilling drama… As Gabriel draws both Louisa and Sylvie into his thrall, their lush small town stops feeling quite so staid.”  —Vogue

“Acampora sets the idealism of youth against middle-age complacency and high-society reservations . . . With this gem of a novel, Acampora cements herself as a thrilling voice in fiction.”  —Booklist, starred review

“Arresting… Acampora achieves a sharp and tense depiction of an illusory and stultifying haven.” —Publishers Weekly
