“Realistically detailed, poetically charged, and utterly satisfying: apparently there’s nothing Egan can’t do.”

· Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

“Egan’s propulsive, surprising, ravishing, and revelatory saga, a covertly profound page-turner that will transport and transform every reader.”

· Booklist, STARRED review

“Egan works a formidable kind of magic . . . This is a big novel that moves with agility.”

· New York Times

“Manhattan Beach is a fleet, sinuous epic, abounding with evocative details, felicitous metaphors, and crystalline historical assessments.”

· Bookforum

“Manhattan Beach is ambitiously and deliciously plot-driven . . . In drawing from the classic catalog of New York stories, Manhattan Beach also takes its place among them.”
