Mary Kuryla of Lit Hub featured THE STARS ARE NOT YET BELLS by Hannah Lillith Assadi in her literary roundup of “Deeply Flawed Mother Figures of Literature.” She writes: “In Assadi’s rendering of dementia, we are rewarded with a privileged view of a mother’s secrets and passions simply by virtue of what insists in the mind and what muddles. Can we be surprised that motherhood and its demands, for all its insistence, winds up in the muddle?” Riverhead Books published the novel on January 11, 2022.
