What We Say: “On the island off the coast of Washington where they were born and raised, Sam, Elena and their mother struggle to survive. Then one night, Sam spots a bear swimming the dark waters of the channel. Where is it going? What does it want? A story about the bonds of sisterhood and the mysteries of the animals that live among us — and within us — Bear is a propulsive, mythical, richly imagined novel” — Maria Padget
What They Say: “Thrilling and propulsive, glorious and terrifying. Julia Phillips is a brilliant writer”— Ann Patchett
