Reviews"Girls with Long Shadows, Tennessee Hill's riveting debut novel, is a brilliant, engrossing portrait of three sisters and the bonds of love and betrayal. Babies A, B, and C-- triplet girls whose mother died young--move from a plural unity to their splintered selves within a town where the chorus of voices and history provide an emotionally charged backdrop for all that plays out. Hill is a gifted talent and I look forward to more." -- Jill McCorkle, New York Times bestselling author of Old Crimes

Synopsis"A brilliant, engrossing portrait of three sisters and the bonds of love and betrayal. . . . Hill is a gifted talent and I look forward to more."--Jill McCorkle, New York Times bestselling author of Life After Life "Singular, striking, and sly, Girls with Long Shadows seduced me from its first sentence to its last. This book has so much scathing beauty in it I could feel the scrape of a knife on every page. What a delicate, hot-blooded tempest of a debut."--Amy Jo Burns, author of Mercury With the haunting, romantic voyeurism of The Virgin Suicides and the atmosphere and emotional intensity of Where the Crawdads Sing , an intoxicating Southern Gothic debut novel about identical triplets whose lives are devastated when their burgeoning desires turn deadly. Identical triplets Baby A, Baby B, and Baby C Binderup were welcomed into the world as their mother was ushered out of it, leaving them nameless and in the care of their Gram, Isadora. Nineteen years later, the triplets work at their Gram's crumbling golf course in Longshadow, Texas, where the ever-watchful eyes of the town observe them serving up glasses of ice-cold lemonade to golfers, swimming in the murky waters of the neighboring bayou, or slipping t-shirts off their sunburnt shoulders in hopes of attracting the kind of attention they are only beginning to understand. Cautious Baby B watches as lustful Baby A and introverted Baby C find matches among the town boys. Even Baby B has noticed that the town's golden boy seems to be intrigued by her, only her. Just as each girl's desire to be seen for herself is becoming fulfilled, a seemingly trivial kiss is bestowed on the wrong sister, leading to a moment of unspeakable violence that will upend the triplets' world forever. Pulsating with menace and narrated with hypnotic lyricism, Girls with Long Shadows is an electrifying literary thriller that captures how female teenage angst can turn lethal when insecurities are weaponized and sibling bonds are severed. Tense, lush, and painfully beautiful, it forces us to consider the lengths to which we will go to claim our own personhood., "A brilliant, engrossing portrait of three sisters and the bonds of love and betrayal. . . .
