“With clearly drawn, authentic, and endearing characters, and a well-crafted plot filled with subtle tension, Olsen’s latest is a meaningful read. Her thought-provoking storytelling is filled with beautiful language and stark with honest, heartfelt emotion, and delicately navigates the world of Emma and Noah as they deal with the aftermath of loss and struggle through their marriage. A wonderfully tender story, readers will not be able to put this one down.”– RT Book Reviews

"In Root, Petal, Thorn, each of the women’s stories is beautifully crafted; Olsen skillfully fleshes out her characters, furnishing them with distinct personalities and fascinating life circumstances. While the voices are multifold, the story flows as one rather than in disjointed parts. The house is as much a character in the book as the women who live and love within its walls. This captivating novel is a delight from start to finish.
