Praise for Saint of the Narrows Street:

“The stunning Saint of the Narrows Street is William Boyle’s best novel yet, a vibrant, operatic tale of two resilient, big-hearted sisters and the fateful night that sets their life on a path they never intended. Not since Richard Price has a writer brought New York to such vivid, spectacular life, and Boyle’s southern Brooklyn is all his own: a neighborhood pulsing with hard-earned humor, dive-bar pleasures and thunderous heartbreak.”
—Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Beware the Woman

“You don’t read a William Boyle novel as much as you inhabit his intricately drawn world. Saint of the Narrows Street is on par with the best of Pete Dexter, Richard Price, and William Kennedy. This is a tour de force, knockout book; an immediate classic that will stay with you long after you finish the last perfect chapter.”
—Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Let the Devil Ride and The Heathens

Saint of the Narrows Street is a hundred-proof shot of tragic love. Nobody writes like William Boyle. Every character has a huge thumping heart. You can smell the skeevy bars and taste the home-cooked lasagna. Boyle deals in details, but this is a big, epic novel, and it’s his best yet.”
—Eli Cranor, Edgar Award-winning author of Don’t Know Tough

“A new William Boyle novel is always cause for celebration, and Saint of the Narrows Street might be his best work yet. A novel brilliant in structure and in its study of the long-term effects of a single violent crime. Ambitious in scope and impossible to put down. Boyle is that rare writer who is able to walk the line of social commentary and crime thriller.” 
—Willy Vlautin, author of The Motel Life, Northline, Lean on Pete, The Free, Don’t Skip Out on Me, The Night Always Comes, and The Horse, founding member of Richmond Fontaine and the Delines
