KUDOS FOR WHEN SHE WOKE

Jan Stuart, The New York Times
"Jordan’s feverishly conceived dystopia holds its own alongside the dark inventions of Margaret Atwood and Ray Bradbury."

Booklist, starred review
”Jordan blends hot-button issues such as the separation of church and state, abortion, and criminal justice with an utterly engrossing story, driven by a heroine as layered and magnetic as Hester Prynne herself . . . Absolutely a must-read."

Fatima F. Azam, Washington Independent Review of Books
"Hillary Jordan’s latest novel is nothing short of a revelation . . . When She Woke may be well on its way to becoming a classic, taught alongside Orwell and Hawthorne."

Chris Wiegard, Richmond Times Dispatch
"A disturbing story that makes clear from the first page that Jordan will not shy away from religious or political controversy . . . The only safe prediction about this writer is that she will never be boring."

Nina Shengold, The Chronogram
"Don’t expect to get anything else done while reading Hillary Jordan’s blistering new novel When She Woke."

KUDOS FOR MUDBOUND

Publishers Weekly
“[A] beautiful debut . . . A superbly rendered depiction of the fury and terror wrought by racism.”

Michelle Green, People, Critics Choice, 4-Star Review
“[A] supremely readable debut novel . . . Fluidly narrated by engaging characters . . . Mudbound is packed with drama. Pick it up and pass it on."

Christina Koning, The London Times
"Jordan's tautly structured debut . . . confronts disturbing truths about America's past with a directness and a freshness of approach that recalls Alice Walker's The Color Purple."

Tayari Jones, Paste Magazine, 4-Star Review
“[A] tremendous gift, a story that challenges the 1950s textbook version of our history and leaves its readers completely in the thrall of her characters—and with an intense desire to investigate beyond the novel's pages. Mudbound may well become a staple of syllabi for courses in Southern literature."

Borders Short List
“This tragic love story calls to mind such Southern greats as Welty and Faulkner."

Chris Wiegard, Richmond Times-Dispatch
“[R]efusing to turn the page is not an option . . . The reader is left wondering: How can this young author top her first effort?"

KUDOS FOR ANONYMOUS SEX

Meredith Maran, Los Angeles Times"[A] sizzling assemblage of top-notch literary fiction.”

Allison P. Davis, New York Times
“The stories will satisfy you and fill you with longing . . . as with a casual tryst, the best part of this book is the anonymity; the promise of no strings attached.”

Toronto Star
”Steamy stories from award-winning writers make Anonymous Sex a book to devour.”

David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife
"An anthology in the form of a parlor game, Anonymous Sex invites us into the imaginations of some our best novelists, letting us marvel at their talents and desires while wondering who wrote what and if it even matters. A book of pleasures and secrets—and great fun to read."
