Lauren B. Davis

Lauren B. Davis’s most recent novel is EVEN SO, a chronicle of two people, one a Catholic nun, the other a privileged and careless Princeton matron, as they wrestle with the challenges and transformative power of acceptance and love without caveats. Named as one of the best novels of the year by Quill & Quire.

“Lauren B. Davis never misses. EVEN SO is a book filled with beautiful sentences; it dives deep into the mess that is the human condition. But for all its artistry, the novel moves like a cheetah. This is as good as the modern novel gets.” - David Worsley, Words Worth Books.

THE GRIMOIRE OF KENSINGTON MARKET, is a modern fairy tale about addiction and the bonds of love. Called “timely and important” by the Toronto Star, “enchanting” by the Temz Review, and named “One of the Best Books of the Year” by the Globe & Mail.

AGAINST A DARKENING SKY, set in 7th c. England. Pulitzer-Prize winning author, Robert Olen Butler said this about the novel: “Lauren B. Davis’s Against a Darkening Sky brilliantly achieves the ideal for a historical novel: period and milieu seem utterly inextricable from character and theme, and together they illuminate timeless and universal truths of the human condition. Seventh-century England is fascinating. Wilona is achingly real. Her quest for an identity and a place in the world are richly resonant. Davis is a remarkable writer.”

—Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain

Named one of the “Best Books of the Year” by The National Post, and the Winnipeg Free Press, “Editors’ Pick” by Amazon and a “Critics’ Pick” by The Coast (Nova Scotia). Told with compassion, insight and an irresistible gallows humor, THE EMPTY ROOM takes us to the depths of addiction, only to find a revelation at its heart: the importance and grace of one person reaching out to another.
