Chicago Review of Books
The Gossip Columnist’s Daughter is one of the Chicago Review of Books “12 Must-Read Books of August 2025.”
“A Chicago novel through and through, The Gossip Columnist’s Daughter is a fascinating work of literary invention that sits perfectly at the precipice of history and fiction. Orner’s characters are messy, unsteadying, and utterly compelling; you won’t be able to turn away.”
