Pro Reviews: A Seahorse Year
As D'Erasmo shifts between different points of view--distinct, but united by her lush prose--she paints a portrait of illness, but also of growth and change.
The lesbian, gay, and interracial relationships that inhabit this novel, while certainly authentic, could have easily lapsed into a 'teaching tolerance' ideology of political correctness; thankfully, D'Erasmo has managed to avoid this, and A SEAHORSE YEAR is a stunning achievement.
Publisher Notes: A Seahorse Year
- In Stacey D'Erasmo's acclaimed second novel, a quintessentially modern family is ultimately transformed by the emerging breakdown of their teenaged son, Christopher. When he disappears from his San Francisco home, his extended family comes together in a frantic search. But Christopher is in much more trouble than they know, and their attempts to support him and to save him will challenge their assumptions about themselves and one another.
Exquisitely crafted, A Seahorse Year is an absorbing read that explores the ways in which love moves us to actions that have both redemptive and disastrous consequences, sometimes in the same heartbeat.

"Beautiful, addictive . . . an elegant, glancing humor flecks the book . . . wonderfully observed ." -- Newsday
"You could read Stacey D'Erasmo for the subtlety of her insights or the beauty of her language or for her tumbling, shifting arrangements of plot and characters . . . Or you could just open A Seahorse Year and be mesmerized." -- The Advocate
