Devotion: A Memoir
"I was on the verge of tears more than once in the course of Dani Shapiro's impeccably structured spiritual odyessy. But Devotion's biggest triumph is its voice: funny and unpretentious, concrete and earthy--appealing to skeptics and believers alike. This is a gripping, beautiful story." - Jennifer Egan
Black & White
Ambitious...thrilling...Shapiro’s subtle, nuanced handling of her material emphasizes the radical subjectivity of experience, and builds into a powerful and compelling point. - Darcy Cosper, TIMEOUT NEW YORK
Family History: A Novel
"Shapiro writes wonderfully. . .she gently regulates the tone of the novel to reflect the tenuous nature of its central conflict. Her portrayal of a mother and wife struggling to accept the limits of her love and custody will resonate with anyone who has wished they could protect someone, and failed." - Jillian Dunham, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Slow Motion
"Absorbing, sweetly stinging...Shapiro's book succeeds as a gracefully written story of reckoning inspired by tragedy and the long reach of familial roots." - Elizabeth Bukowski, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
