Kirkus Reviews gives a starred review for Evensong!
…O’Nan’s brilliantly rendered characters refuse to be pitied, matter-of-factly accepting loss and physical decline as they go about their days quietly sustained by their faith and commitment to service. Unsentimental yet deeply moving: more wonderful work from the versatile, masterful O’Nan.

“Fans of Kent Haruf’s Our Souls at Night (2015) and Elizabeth Strout’s Olive, Again (2019) will appreciate the dignity O’Nan (Ocean State, 2022) affords his characters as they navigate both the dramatic and the mundane moments in their lives.”
— Lindsay Harmon [full review]
Evensong will be published on November 11, 2025.
