“Nobody describes the natural beauty of Cape Cod nor the lovely, messy bonds of family better than Adrienne Brodeur. Little Monsters is an absolutely captivating read.” —Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author of The Hotel Nantucket

“Gorgeously told, with psychological nuance to spare, Adrienne Brodeur’s latest fiction returns us to a world she knows by heart, wind-blown, wave-swept Cape Cod and the fraught, labyrinthine territory beneath the surface of family. This is the work of a seasoned and wonderfully wise storyteller. Brodeur is as masterfully attuned to the complex DNA of kindred secrets and high-risk loyalties as she is empathetic to the specifically tangled lives of the Gardner clan. We ultimately want for them what we want for ourselves, the freedom that comes with hard-won healing and truth telling, and the intimacy that waits if we’re brave enough to look back down the loaded barrel of love.” —Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark

“Beautiful, lyrical and unvarnished, Adrienne Brodeur’s Little Monsters delivers its powerful emotional punches so subtly that they sneak up on you and leave you floored.” —Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace

“Who understands complicated family dynamics better than Adrienne Brodeur? Little Monsters is a gripping portrait of how we carry the past into the present, and how the boundaries of kinship blur and change over time.” —Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes

“Wrenching, psychologically complex, and emotionally satisfying, Little Monsters is an immersive pleasure. This sprawling, big-hearted family saga is about the lies we tell each other and ourselves that enable us to maintain alliances—and what happens when we start telling the truth.” —Christina Baker Kline, New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan Train

"In Little Monsters, Adrienne Brodeur plunges into a multi-charactered family novel that is richly satisfying, like the best of meals, taking the reader into the heart of what Freud called 'the family romance,’ with all its complexities, evasions, buried guilts, forbidden passions and sibling rivalry. As sharply observant about her characters as she is of the landscape and seascape of Cape Cod, where they live, her novel is that rarest of things: a truly great read.” —Michael Korda, New York Times bestselling author
