Reviews of THE WHOLE WORLD:
"Winslow's novel is so self-assured, so well-constructed and so chilling that the reader is left in awe by the young author's accomplished debut...'The Whole World' shines as a potent look at the self-absorption and angst of youth and the regrets and doubts of middle age."--The Richmond Times-Dispatch
"[An] engrossing debut...The pieces come together to reveal a vivid and shocking picture at the end of this novel of literary suspense."
--Parade magazine top summer pick
"A first novel about growing up, having sex and going seriously off the rails at Cambridge University."--Palm Beach Post summer reading list
"Winslow's characters ring true: her undergraduates' self-absorption, insecurity and penchant for drama...The later-in-life disappointments and posturing of the professor, her husband and the cop...An absorbing whole complete in all its parts."
--The Portsmouth Herald
"Winslow excels at describing the unique architecture and ambience of Cambridge while gradually creating a chilling, psychologically creepy atmosphere."
--Booklist
"Distinct and authentic...Although 'The Whole World' is a mystery or suspense novel, I wasn't racing through it to find out the solution to the mystery. Instead, I was savoring the lovely language, the story Winslow created for me, and the competing ideas of just what exactly constitutes 'the whole world.' Highly recommended."--Devourer of Books
"Winslow writes exquisitely and with great honesty, each character picking up the narrative and adding his or her own complex history so the result is a rich, multi-layered tale. The imagery is compelling: you can see the cascade of paper snowflakes, the shine of lights in the wet English rain. I was well past the halfway mark before I realized that The Whole World is about much, much more than what happened to one young man in the middle of an ordinary day."
--Carla Buckley, author of The Things That Keep Us Here
"Readers lured into the pages of this intense psychological mystery are in for no gentle ride, as rivalries and jealousies know no bounds in Emily Winslow's intriguing debut novel, The Whole World, set amidst Cambridge's dreaming spires." --Richard Reynolds, Heffers, Cambridge, England
