" - Lauren Groff, New York Times bestselling author of Fates and Furies Mona Awad's talent is so vital that it absolutely roars out of her. "Wild and exhilarating and so fresh it takes your breath away, All's Well is an utterly delicious novel of pain and vitality, Shakespeare and the uncanny, and our own subtle moral failures when we brush up against the pain of others.
