“This tale of loss, punishment, and the struggle for forgiveness grabs the reader by the throat and never lets go.” — Publishers Weekly
"I fucking loved this book.... Natural, conversational prose and characters that very well might live across the street from all of us populate this story of how a simple decision can define all the lives around us.... I'll dare to bet this novel will be talked about for many, many years to come." ― Brian Panowich, award-winning author of Bull Mountain
"Where the Sun Shines out is an arresting debut―it's smart, horrifying, yet brimming with heart. You will not be able to put it down." ― Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage
"Where the Sun Shines Out examines not only how an act of violence can tear apart the heart of a town and a family, but how that heart can be repaired, stitch by stitch." ― Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning of The Long and Faraway Gone
“Where the Sun Shines Out is a beautifully written psychological thriller that explores with depth and compassion the psychological price of survival. Kevin Catalano has written a compelling novel full of memorable characters whose many perspectives demonstrate the far reaches of a single criminal act.”
―Lee Zacharias, author of The Only Sounds We Make
“Unsettling and deeply felt, a book that reminds us fate won’t be outrun.”—Erin McKnight, founding editor and publisher of Queen’s Ferry Press
“One of those rare stories that makes the world around you disappear―pulling you into a tense and dysfunctional narrative that ultimately leaves you shaking and spent. Kevin Catalano is an author to watch, a powerful voice that needs to be read.” ―Richard Thomas, author of Disintegration and editor of Exigencies
“I read this novel in one sitting. How does a person redeem a real life nightmare? Kevin Catalano portrays the full ramifications with an astute eye and great wisdom. He can't write his next book fast enough for me.”
―Alice Elliott Dark, author of In the Gloaming and Think of England
