Amanda Eyre Ward: Often, my novels begin with an image,and in the case of Close Your Eyes, one of the first images I saw. was a young brother and sister, alone in a tree house, about to discover something that will change their world. When I was sixteen, there was a murder in a quiet town near my suburban home. "Close Your Eyes is a wonder. Amanda Eyre Ward has given us finely spun mystery with complex, absorbing characters and lovely prose." — Katie Crouch, author of Girls in Trucks "I absolutely loved this beautiful, haunting story of a woman who learns to come to terms with a dark, deep family secret.
