NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYSlate â¢Â Cosmopolitan â¢Â Salon ⢠BuzzFeed ⢠BookPageWritten with the riveting storytelling of authors like Emma Donoghue, Adam Johnson, Ann Patchett, and Curtis Sittenfeld, Cartwheel is a suspenseful and haunting novel of an American foreign exchange student arrested for murder, and a father trying to hold his family together.  When Lily Hayes arrives in Buenos Aires for her semester abroad, she is enchanted by everything she encounters: the colorful buildings, the street food, the handsome, elusive man next door. Her studious roommate Katy is a bit of a bore, but Lily didnât come to Argentina to hang out with other Americans.  Five weeks later, Katy is found brutally murdered in their shared home, and Lily is the prime suspect. But who is Lily Hayes? It depends on whoâs asking. As the case takes shapeârevealing deceptions, secrets, and suspicious DNAâLily appears alternately sinister and guileless through the eyes of those around her: the media, her family, the man who loves her and the man who seeks her conviction. With mordant wit and keen emotional insight, Cartwheel offers a prismatic investigation of the ways we decide what to seeâand to believeâin one another and ourselves.  In Cartwheel, duBois delivers a novel of propulsive psychological suspense and rare moral nuance. No two readers will agree who Lily is and what happened to her roommate. Cartwheel will keep you guessing until the final page, and its questions about how well we really know ourselves will linger well beyond.  WINNER OF THE HOUSATONIC BOOK AWARDâA smart, literary thriller [for] fans of Gillian Flynnâs Gone Girl.ââThe Huffington Post âPsychologically astute . . . DuBois hits [the] larger sadness just right and dispenses with all the salacious details you can readily find elsewhere. . . . The writing in Cartwheel is a pleasureâelectric, fine-tuned, intelligent, conflicted. The novel is engrossing, and its portraiture hits delightfully and necessarily close to home.ââThe New York Times Book Review (Editorâs Choice)  âMarvelous . . . a gripping tale . . . Every sentence crackles with wit and vision. Every page casts a spell.ââMaggie Shipstead, author of Seating Arrangementsâ[Youâll] break your own record of pages read per minute as you tear through this book.ââMarie Claire  âJennifer duBois is destined for great things.ââCosmopolitanâA convincing, compelling tale . . . The story plays out in all its well-told complexity.ââNew York Daily Newsâ[A] gripping, gorgeously written novel . . . The emotional intelligence in Cartwheel is so sharp itâs almost ruthlessâa tabloid tragedy elevated to high art. [Grade:] A-ââEntertainment Weekly  âSure-footed and psychologically calibrated . . . As the pages fly, the reader hardly notices that duBois has stretched the genre of the criminal procedural.ââNewsdayâProvocative, meaningful and suspenseful.ââChicago Tribuneâ[Jennifer duBois is] heir to some of the great novelists of the past, writers who caught the inner lives of their characters and rendered them on the page in beautiful, studied prose.ââPittsburgh Post-GazetteFrom the Hardcover edition.
