"What I love about Lottery is that it is much more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soul - it's a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader."
-Paul Theroux, author of The Mosquito Coast
"In her debut novel, Patricia Wood defines poignancy in words of one syllable. Lottery is solid gold."
-Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and Now You See Her
If the songs you like are all by dead people then you are really old.
"In Lottery , Patricia Wood has created an altogether endearing character swept up in the most extreme of situations. A testament to the transcendence of friendship and the redemptive power of love, this startling novel is at once funny and poignant. Fans of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Daniel Keyes's Flowers for Algernon would do well to pick up this captivating debut. I loved it!"
-Martha O'Connor, author of The Bitch Posse
"An uplifting story that captivates from the very first page. Lottery is a winner."
-Kate Jacobs, author of The Friday Night Knitting Club
Convenient means that other people do not have to work so hard.
