Lowry... has created a story that belongs on bookshelves next to other fine literature. She's as accomplished with her sentences and character development as a young Jane Smiley or Anne Tyler and often as disturbing as Jim Harrison....The Earthquake Machine moves Lowry into an elite group of young female writers who know that the feminist movement is about more than equal pay for equal work and that a girl has a right to be a grrrlllll, if she chooses.

REMARKABLE. Wild, maddening, preposterous, beautiful. It's just crazy good. A marvel. 
–Joy Williams (Pulitzer Prize finalist, THE QUICK AND THE DEAD)

Mary Lowry has a wonderful imagination and a terrific sense of humor, as well as deep empathy for what can go wrong in life. The Earthquake Machine is her best tale yet.
–H.W. Brands (New York Times bestselling author, Two time Pulitzer Prize Finalist).


I was blown away by this book.  It’s honestly a lot to take in, but Ms. Lowry really exceeded my expectations with The Earthquake Machine and I thoroughly enjoyed every page of it... Everyone should read it.
--Book Sake

The writing is fantastic and the story is completely unique and unforgettable. I think this is an amazing coming-of-age story that will be loved as much by adults as it will be by teens.
--Queen of Teen Fiction

Lowry's writing style is so beautiful and textured, describing otherwise uncomfortable scenes with poeticism that simultaneously enriches and heightens the scene.
