"A darkly funny and rightfully furious portrait of motherhood in the era of climate change... Rendered with Wallace's insightful, sharp, and tender prose, the novel manages to beautifully capture so much about humanity--including motherhood, fear, love, fury, misogyny, community, and what we owe to ourselves and others." -Kirkus

"This poetic novella expertly captures the essence of maternal rage in a tight yet profound narrative.[It] will particularly appeal to working mothers but has a message that should be shouted from the rooftops for all to hear." -Booklist

"Ash is equal parts premonition, fever dream, and love song. A sharp arrow puncturing the dreams and delusions of modern life. I got full body chills reading it, and was left filled with sorrow and longing." --Emma Pattee, author of Tilt

"Louise Wallace is a keen observer of humanity. In Ash, she's created a memorable woman on the verge, a singular narrator in less-than-ideal circumstances: a chaotic schedule, an unjust workplace, a helpless husband, and a child that's fallen sick due to a sudden freak environmental disaster. New experiences call for new containers, new ways to tell a story. As poetic as it is experimental, Ash is one woman's bold attempt to create a novel way to talk about the unprecedented. At only 148 miraculous pages, this is a novel you'll consume in one sitting."--Katie Yee, author of Maggie; or A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar

"Louise Wallace writes the excruciating and transformative with such precision it's almost impossible to believe. This is a razor-sharp novel: claustrophobic and expansive at once, full of terror and dark humor." -Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet
