Critical Praise

"What if we cannot know even those we love best? In Mapping the Edge, Sarah Dunant writes with wonderful intelligence about the dark intricacies of motherhood, friendship, love, and obsession. A brilliantly plotted, ruthlessly intelligent, and highly readable novel."

——Margot Livesey, author of Eva Moves the Furniture

"[Dunant] plots with remarkable intricacy [and] is a master at creating anxiety and mystery."

——The Washington Post

"Thoroughly satisfying . . . departs from the usual thriller formula . . . but it contains its own full array of surprises. . . . Dunant’s feel for the geography of bed and willing flesh is a pleasure. . . . In moments . . . that delve into the subtleties and varieties of love and desire, Dunant emerges as a shrewd observer."

——The New York Times Book Review

"Very smart . . . a riveting thriller."

——The Baltimore Sun
