“Body Language is one of the best novels I’ve read in years. It’s brainy and joyful and philosophical and really, really funny. It made me cry, which few books do. And Meg Howrey’s sentences—rhythmic, lithe, precise—are just incredibly pleasurable. I loved it.” —Leni Zumas, author of Wolf Bells

“I loved this book. Body Language hums with lyricism, quiet power, and the kind of stubborn humor that sustains us humans in our darkest moments. Meg Howrey’s tale of three complicated sisters facing their mother’s decline moves deftly, inexorably, from the mundane to the metaphysical. An ambitious and deeply satisfying book.” —Claire Dederer, author of Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma

“Meg Howrey writes with a satiric eye and a generous heart, and I was won over by her hilarious and disarmingly honest novel about mothers and daughters and what it really means to take care of the people you love.”

—Marissa Silver, author of At Last
