“[Do Not Find Me] bores deeply into the complexities of family and the often unfulfilling pursuit of love…It’s a suspenseful and gracefully told tale that will demand a loyal audience.” Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“[In] this deeply felt contemporary novel..Novak’s writing is at its most textured and incisive revealing Meggie’s psyche as she re-evaluates her life as a daughter and as a wife in a loveless and remote marriage…Novak’s engaging story and elegant prose make for a worthwhile read.” Publishers Weekly
“A taut and beguiling meditation on love, loss, secrets, and silences. Tender and intricately written, this well-crafted novel is poetic, evocative, and beautiful.” Kirkus Reviews
“Novak plumbs the mysteries at the heart of those we think we know best…even at the heart of ourselves.” Faith Sullivan, author of Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse
