Praise for The Displacements:
Holsinger collects America s flaws and scant empathy in this breakneck novel [it] surely entertains, and it also hearkens to hope. Booklist, STARRED review
Brilliantly imagined and terrifyingly believable. Seems destined to be a blockbuster. Kirkus, STARRED review
[A] harrowing novel of environmental disaster This story of displacement and desperation packs a wallop. Publishers Weekly
A riveting and humbling reminder of how precarious our lives are in comparison to the power of nature, and a profound glimpse into our near future. Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes
Realistic and immediate, it puts the reader right in the eye of the emotional storm, alongside its characters. As much as this is a wake-up call about the unpredictable nature of weather and life, it is most powerfully a propulsive family drama and a provocative story of human dignity, human indignity, and the deeper meanings of home. Miranda Cowley Heller, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Paper Palace
Bruce Holsinger has written a novel that succeeds in confronting the shocking realities of these times without being either apocalyptic or pessimistic. The Displacements is an urgent, powerful, unputdownable novel, filled with characters that are so vividly drawn that it is impossible not to care about them. A remarkable achievement. Amitav Ghosh, author of Sea of Poppies and The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable
Tense, claustrophobic, and all too imaginable. A reminder that disaster doesn t only happen to other people, that in a heartbeat each of us can be put to the test in a desperate search for physical and emotional survival. Holsinger's beautifully drawn characters are made even more human by their relatable vulnerability in this gripping, twisty drama. Diane Chamberlain, New York Times bestselling author of The Last House on the Street
Praise for The Gifted School:
"A page-turning meditation on what it means to be gifted and how far parents will go to prove it." NPR
"Holsinger s sharp observation, knack for dialogue, acerbic social commentary and droll descriptive gifts all add up to a heady brew. As the adults scheme intently and their beleaguered children act out their frustrations, The Gifted School becomes a sharp, skeptical primer on how things stand in 2010s America where everyone is desperate to get their slice of an ever-shrinking economic pie." The Boston Globe
"A surprisingly hopeful novel. There s a sweetness to its resolution, a satisfying possibility that no matter what monsters we parents are at times, we can still graduate to something better." Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"Holsinger renders his helicopter moms and soccer dads so precisely that one understands their motivations, even feels their longing and pride. . . [The Gifted School] exposes how easily a mix of good intentions, self-delusions, and minor sins can escalate into the kind of skullduggery that might prompt an F.B.I. sting." The New Yorker
"Clever and au courant. . . top of the syllabus for book clubs." People
"Bright, and expertly observed." Town & Country
"Wise and addictive... The Gifted School is the juiciest novel I've read in ages... a suspenseful, laugh-out-loud page-turner and an incisive inspection of privilege, race and class. . . .The book goes down as easy as a gin and tonic on a summer day, but the takeaway is damning. In their quest to give their offspring the best, these parents have committed, as one member of the group realizes too late, 'a collective crime against childhood.." J. Courtney Sullivan in The New York Times
