'Sarai Walker has done it again ... upends the Gothic ghost story with a fiery feminist zeal.' Maria Semple, bestelling author of Where'd You Go Bernadette'A riveting, gothic page-turner' the New York Times'Wonderful... A book one doesn't want to put down... I highly recommend' Sarah Jessica ParkerThe reclusive Sylvia Wren, one of the most important American artists of the past century, has been running from her past for sixty years. Born Iris Chapel, of the Chapel munitions dynasty, second youngest of six sisters, she grew up in a palatial Victorian 'Wedding Cake House' in New England, neglected by her distant father and troubled, haunted mother. The sisters longed to escape, but the only way out was marriage. Not long after the first Chapel sister walks down the aisle, she dies of mysterious causes, a tragedy that repeats with the second sister, leaving the rest to navigate the wreckage, with heart-wrenching consequences. The Cherry Robbers is a wonderfully atmospheric, propulsive novel about sisterhood, mortality and forging one's own path.

Walker's take on the classic Gothic tale fairly shimmers... a heady concoction of terror and desire... fever-pitched emotions... dark with smothering melancholy and macabre spectres

Walker creates a dazzling world filled with the scents and colors of flowers that will later become the foundation for Sylvia's subversive paintings. Just as subversive is the swirl of voices of the women at the story's center: The Chapel women may be locked away in castles and sanitariums by a series of domineering men, but their unfulfilled longings haunt these pages as powerfully as any family curse

Thrums with violence, oppression, and blood. This fierce feminist tale hit me in the heart and hasn't let me go

Wonderful ... I highly recommend ... a book one doesn't want to put down'

A riveting, gothic page-turner... evocatively captures the tempo, languor and decadence of the ivory tower in which the sisters are trapped... a dazzling world... their unfulfilled longings haunt these pages as powerfully as any family curse

Filled with incredible writing, deliciously dark and gothic themes and strong female characters, this new novel is not one to miss

This feminist Gothic thriller whisks readers from New Mexico in 2017 to Connecticut in 1950, straight into the bull's-eye of a firearms dynasty.

Earning comparisons to The Virgin Suicides for its singularly unlucky siblings and gothic mystery

Long-anticipated... spooky... speaks to the author's range

Sarai Walker has done it again. She upends the Gothic ghost story with a fiery feminist zeal

Gorgeously written and all-consuming, and left me more than a little heartbroken

Takes one interesting new turn after another... a heady mix of gothic fiction and incisive art thriller

Sharp, gothic tale

Walker plays along with the feminist gothic form, with the idea of a family curse, and we cannot but play along, caught up in the suspense to the inevitable end

Delightfully eerie mix of bildungsroman and ghost story. This uncanny tale of dark origins shines brightly
