'A deft meditation on loss that plays out levels of consequence on both personal and international stages. Mott allows the magic of his story to unearth a full range of feelings about grief and connection.' - Aimee Bender, New York Times bestselling author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
'When a novel is about people returning from the dead, you might expect it to be macabre, gruesome or jokey. The Returned is, instead, a wondrous surprise. With fine craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the human condition, Jason Mott has woven a tale that is in turns tragic and humorous and terrifying.
And after you have stayed up all night reading this remarkable debut, you, too, will be left with the questions: What would you do if a long-dead loved one appeared at your door step?
Surely this will spark many a fabulous book club discussion.'- Eowyn Ivey, Author of the New York Times bestseller The Snow Child
'...a breathtaking novel that navigates emotional minefields with realism and grace.' -Kirkus Reviews
'Mott brings a singularly eloquent voice to this elegiac novel, which not only fearlessly tackles larger questions about mortality but also insightfully captures life's simpler moments... A beautiful meditation on what it means to be human.' - --Booklist

All over the world, people's loved ones are returning from the dead.
Exactly as they were before they died.
As if they never left.
As if it's just another ordinary day.
Jacob Hargrave tragically drowned over 40 years ago. Now he's on his aged parents doorstep, still eight years old; the little boy they knew they d never see again. As the family find themselves at the centre of a community on the brink of collapse, they are forced to navigate a whole new reality and question everything they've ever believed.
No one knows how or why this mysterious event is happening, whether it s a miracle or a sign of the end.
The only certainty is that their lives will never be the same again.
