Revenge is a compelling and psychologically complex story of female friendship, art, and life. When a young painter moves next door to a world class novelist with writer's block, the two women become entwined in a novel described by Michael Cunningham as "compelling and darkly beautiful...Never less than gripping, Revenge builds to the realm of the genuinely revelatory."
"A thriller doesn't always need international intrigue, firearms, or even a murder to be exciting. In the right hands, a story of a growing friendship can be as tense as anything most publishers would subtitle 'A tale of suspense.' Revenge is such a novel."
Ron Bernas, Chicago Tribune
"Who is doing the using and who is being used? That is the question in this tautly plotted novel, genteel fiction with the anxious heartbeat of a psychological thriller."
Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe
"Mary Morris paints a compelling tale of two women's obsessions and the blackest Revenge."
