Inheritance

Natalie Danford is coeditor of the annual Best New American Voices series and a freelance writer and book critic. She lives with her husband in New York City.

“A slim book with outsize ambitions, an engaging subtle look at the complicated history of a family and a country . . . impressive . . . Her compact prose is studded with rich and telling detail . . . compelling.” ---Los Angeles Times

“Written with a passionate clarity and with surprising wisdom, Inheritance is possessed of a genuine fictional beauty.” ---Chuck Wachtel, author of Joe the Engineer

“Although it’s barely 200 pages long this first novel has enough plot for several books. Danford juggles this with aplomb. She is an old-fashioned storyteller.” ---The New York Times Book Review

“Danford displays remarkable stylistic prose.”---The Boston Globe

 “In Natalie Danford’s Inheritance, Olivia Bonocchio goes where each of us knows we should never go: past a father’s persona and into the sloppy, disconcerting truth of who he really was. Danford perfectly captures the dance between the kind of knowledge that can banish a person from the garden and the sort of truth that can set her free. Inheritance may be a debut novel, but the storytelling is so assured, it reads like the work of a reliable old pro---something Danford seems destined to become.” ---Mark Winegardner, author of Crooked River Burning and The Godfather Returns
