Reviews for DTV’s German translation of THE WIDOW’S SEASON by Laura Brodie
published as ICH WEISS, DU BIST HIER [I Know You Are Here]:
“I know you are here by Laura Brodie is an enthralling novel that is hardly assignable to a certain genre. A perfect read for anyone looking for drama, suspense and a touch of mystery.”---B.Z. Kultur, Berlin, July 25th, 2010
“This book challenges the reader to rethink their own life, just like the main character Sarah was forced to; to examine former goals and ambitions, and to attend to those people of whose existence one was always sure. The blending of fantasy and reality is so captivating that it is hard to put the book down. Still, nearing the end of the book, one is almost reluctant to read further for fear of a ‘wrong’ end.”---Buchpunkt.de, July 20th, 2010
“Laura Brodie has crafted an exciting puzzle about love, grief and the fight for a new beginning. Thrilling up to the last page.”---Neues für die Frau, Deltapark Verlag, Hamburg, July 8th 2010
“Moving story about the pain of loss.”---Super TV, June 19th – 25th, 2010
“A compelling women’s novel.”---Das Neue Blatt, Hamburg, July 21st, 2010
“An intelligent women’s novel.”---Uelzener Anzeiger, July 14th, 2010
“I know you are here keeps its promise to the reader: love, suffering and emotions. Beautiful story – read lovingly and emotionally by the great Andrea Sawatzki. Tearjerker!”---Düsseldorfer Anzeiger, July 2010
“Emotional drama.”---Mini-Rätsel, Rastatt, July 2010

Reviews:
"In The Widow’s Season, Brodie draws on literary traditions, but hides the academic stuff under the flow of smart dialogue and sharp detail. This is a work of craft and imagination."---Roanoke Times
"In The Widow’s Season, Laura Brodie confronts all the twists and turns of grief and loss, love and marriage, and the human heart with honesty, humor, and great intelligence. This novel is spellbinding, right up to its surprising and poignant final page."---Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle
"The Widow’s Season is far more than what it seems to be at first - a straightforward story of a woman getting used to a crushing loss. It’s smarter, slyer, and more unconventional than that. It’s haunting-and haunted too."---Elizabeth Benedict, author of Almost and The Practice of Deceit
