Reno

Four characters become embroiled in a scheme to appropriate a life-changing amount of money. ‘Reno’ shows the complex double-dealing and psychological manipulations they engage in as they inch towards their goal. “You gotta take chances, Emily, life rolls along and if you don’t run faster than the rest of them, think smarter, push yourself further than you thought possible, you’ll be left behind. Dare to live, dare to fail. Dare to love, dare to lose. Dare to jump, dare to fall. It’s life, Emily, squeeze every drop you can out of it, this is not a dress rehearsal, it’s the only time you have.” “’Reno’ is a dreamlike, psychological tour-de-force written with Kim Dallesandro’s signature economic-yet-lyrical prose. The reader is immersed in the inner workings of the characters’ complex psyches as identities become merged and hearts become entangled. She gets better and better with every book she writes.” (D M Mitchell – author of ‘Savoy: A Serious Life’)
