"A modern, compelling drama.... Bohjalian beautifully captures those dizzying moments that follow a tragedy.... In this novel, our eyes are opened to the possibility of redemption, even in these careless times." --San Francisco Chronicle
Gunfire and its aftermath force the survivors to confront a surprisingly complicated question: How best to live? . . . Before You Know Kindness is messier, funnier and, I think, better [than Midwives]." --The New York Times Book Review
"Extraordinary.... Bohjalian has had much success in the past, including a selection as an Oprah Book Club author. Before You Know Kindness is better than anything he's written before." --The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
