Reviews
"[An] inspired debut . . . The work's strength lies in the ways Burt complicates her archetypal characters . . . An engaging family tragedy." --Publishers Weekly

"The Dig is a riveting and chilling tale that mixes family drama and corporate intrigue (à la Succession) with thought-provoking insights about immigration, adoption, and the horrors of war. I couldn't put it down." --Angie Kim, Author of the Edgar Award winning Miracle Creek

"Mesmerizing, twisty, and beautifully written, The Dig combines the propulsive pacing of a thriller with the intimacy of a family drama." --Christina Baker Kline, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Orphan Train

"Equal parts family drama and suspenseful thriller, The Dig is a mesmerizing exploration of family, secrets, and betrayal. Beautifully written and resonant, Anne Burt draws a complex portrait of one young woman and what she discovers about herself--and her orphaned past in war-torn Sarajevo--while she searches for her missing brother. A brilliant debut from a brilliant writer." --S. Kirk Walsh, bestselling author of The Elephant of Belfast

"The Dig is a smart, layered page turner whose propulsive plot takes on big contemporary issues about immigration and the fog of war. Toni King is a great character, a young women seeking a foothold in life and work but thrown off track by her own family. Anne Burt better write another novel soon!" --Alice Elliott Dark, author of Fellowship Point and In the Gloaming
