“Evans is one in a long line of messengers from Lewis to Didion to Deraniyagala. And we need them…Thanks to honest and sadly beautiful books like Young Widower, we are at the very least helpless together. We can’t go on, we’ll go on.”
—The Los Angeles Review of Books
“Evans’s poignant, authentically disjointed account offers candid insight into the baffling interplay of love, loss, and the balm of memory.”
–Kirkus
