 Send For Me

Real family letters from Nazi era heighten 'Send for Me,' Lauren Fox's novel about women separated by the regime

Friends Like Us

A strikingly wise exploration of the bonds people forge and break. Fox delivers on plot, but it’s her insight, emotion, and eye for universal truths that make Friends Like Us memorable.

—People Magazine 
February 27, 2012

[Fox] infuses her writing with a clever, unforced humor. . . . As I finished Friends Like Us I did not despair, but reminisced about that bittersweet time of life that Fox captures perfectly with a writing style that rings with the familiarity of a long-lost friend.

--Star Tribune

This novel is ultimately about trust, betrayal and forgiveness. Fox makes you care about Willa and everyone else in “Friends Like Us” long after you’ve finished.

--Washington Post 
March 27, 2012
What elevates this book … are its deeper insights: that growing up is an absurdly nonlinear process, and that, as Willa asks, the real question is ‘How is it that we can live in this world, love people, and then say good-bye to them?’

--Boston Globe 
February 19, 2012
In this charming novel from the critically acclaimed author of Still Life with Husband, 26-year-old Willa and her best friend Jane are inseparable—until Jane falls in love.

Still Life with Husband

“A delightful new voice in American fiction, a voice that instantly recalls the wry, knowing prose of Lorrie Moore crossed with the screwball talents of the cartoonist Roz Chast.”

--New York Times
(February 16, 2007)
“First novelist Lauren Fox is a smooth, wry writer.  Her primary achievement is taking you on a slow-motion, step-by-step trip down the infamous slippery slope, showing you how a bored but decent woman starts on high, safe ground and ends up in a ditch.”

—Washington Post
(April 15, 2007)
“Still Life with Husband is a breath of fresh air… Fox’s narrator can be sharply witty, laugh-out-loud funny, or plaintively perceptive, depending on the situation – and sometimes all three at once.”

—Chicago Tribune
(February 25, 2007)
