Reception
[edit]Tim O'Connell of The Florida Times-Union wrote that the "plotting at times is as intricate as the mine shafts that undermine the town".[2] Kirkus Reviews wrote that Unger "shows her usual deftness at intricate plotting and explores the mother-child relationship from multiple angles, but too often refers to back story from a previous novel without explanation."[3] Publishers Weekly wrote: "As with Fragile, the secluded nature of the town easily lends itself to long-gestating secrets, which Unger handles much better in this follow-up that's as much about uncovering the past as it is about accepting the future."[4]
Awards and honors
[edit]Darkness, My Old Friend was a top book pick from both Family Circle Magazine and Washington Life Magazine.[1]
