About the author
Wally Lamb is an American novelist and educator whose long-form fiction follows families through trauma, mental illness, incarceration, memory, and the difficult work of taking responsibility.
She’s Come Undone, I Know This Much Is True, The Hour I First Believed, and The River Is Waiting centre narrators whose private crises are inseparable from the people and institutions around them.
Where to start
Start with The River Is Waiting for a prison novel about grief and accountability, or I Know This Much Is True for Lamb’s multigenerational family epic.
