A girl takes the place of a missing teen in braindoggies' enthralling debut novel, MARILOU IS EVERYWHERE (riverheadbooks):
Sometimes a story haunts you. The prose leaves you raw, defying you to articulate what the book is because it feels too immense. Sarah Elaine Smith’s debut novel,The novel revolves around Cindy, who’s in 9th grade when her brother Virgil’s on-again off-again girlfriend, Jude, vanishes. Or rather, Cindy is supposed to be in 9th grade, but she’s stopped going to school since her mother left her and her brothers alone in their rural Pennsylvania farmhouse…again.
Written in Smith’s evocative prose, Cindy’s voice is remarkable. She describes her life before Bernadette as “all dust and no song” and hashes through events in a near stream-of-consciousness style that calls to mind a magpie’s nest of references, vocabulary and points of view. Her home life is solitary and insular, but as Jude, she’s exposed to a new world through literature, film and Bernadette’s stories.
