"You Can Go Home Now is a narrative with muscle, focusing on abuse, humiliation, retribution, revenge. For those of us who love thrillers, who love voice, atmosphere, psychological wrestling matches, Elias delivers.
His novel is engaging, calculating, to the point.
As might be expected by
an author with Elias’s impressive résumé, You Can Go Home Now is masterfully plotted, astutely conceived.”
—Los Angeles Review
of Books
“Mr. Elias balances
his many subplots with notable grace,
and this fine book's melodrama is
laced with humor and poignancy."
