Buzz for Tracy Manaster's new novel, THE DONE THING, is growing!
"Lida Stearl is many things: a widow, a parent, a retired orthodontist, a proper St. Louis lady of a certain age, and hell-bent on making her sister’s killer’s final days on earth as unpleasant as possible. What begins as one woman’s obsessive, secret quest for revenge unfolds into a skillfully written exploration of forgiveness, family, loyalty, and justice. Tracy Manaster’s caustic yet tender second novel is a masterpiece."
–Mo Daviau, author of Every Anxious Wave
"The Done Thing is a wonderfully engrossing novel -- the unnerving and vividly-imagined tale of Lida Stearl, a charming widow who maintains her polite exterior although she's quietly riven by grief and righteous fury. Tracy Manaster has written a novel that beguiles with its characters and its gripping story, but it also provides a rich investigation into what happens when we give space to our terrible little impulses, how these tiny monstrosities can grow and spread beyond our control."
–Peter Mountford, author of The Dismal Science and A Young Man's Guide to Late Capitalism
