"The Latecomer is consistently surprising. Its protagonists reinvent themselves with astonishing ingenuity. Fair warning to readers seeking "likable characters": The people here are fierce, and they fight dirty. The Oppenheimers dare you to love them - and even when you don't, you cannot look away. Korelitz combines moral inquiry with social satire. Like Wharton, she invites the reader to reflect, even as she paints a picture of privilege. A sumptuously wrapped gift, "The Latecomer" is a Gilded Age novel for the 21st century." -- Allegra Goodman - New York Times Book Review

Korelitz deftly limns this tension-riddled setup and the resulting Oppenheimer family dysfunction . . . The resolution, complete with a wedding, persuasively and touchingly affirms that even the most damaged people can grow and change. - Kirkus

The New York Times bestselling author of The Plot (whose 2014 novel, You Should Have Known, was turned into the HBO series The Undoing) returns with a novel about a rich New York City family whose lives are upended when the parents decide to have a fourth child-when their triplets are 18. If you thrive on tales of dysfunction and privilege told with humor and tenderness-and let's face it, who doesn't?-it'll be tough to wait until May, the publication month for this eagerly awaited novel - Oprah Daily, 'The 50 Most Anticipated Books of 2022'

Jean Hanff Korelitz is an ambidextrous writer: not only can she write a tight and absorbing literary thriller like The Plot, but with The Latecomer she draws us in again, this time with her ease, grace and wit, in a satisfying novel that spans generations, lives, and fates. -- Meg Wolitzer
