It is at once a study of guilt and redemption, and a book of how shattered trust can yet still lay the foundation for an entire life.Into Captivity They Will Gois an immersive novel, capturing Caleb's mindset in a way that is believable and heart-wrenching. Its visceral events grapple with topics of abuse, blind faith, and moral gray areas. As a microcosm of an apocalyptic present, Milligan's clear understanding of Revelation provides a theological framework for his narrative that is compelling and terrifying.Holly Jordan,Foreword Reviews[I]t is an intense and propulsive novel exploring what it means to be alive and spiritual in a world ignoring such ideas. I loved its rich imagery, its crystal-clear prose, and its strangeness.Brandon Hobson, National Book Award Finalist and author ofWhere the Dead Sit TalkingIn a story like this, about Christian extremism in modern rural America, itd be easy to go into ironic dark parody or grim horror, but Milligan skirts both of those and shows all the people involved as humans instead.Molly Ringle, author ofLava Red, Feather BlueNoah MilligansInto Captivity They Will Gois a spectacular next read: it combines the deft characterizations of Ann Patchett with the imaginative stylings of Anthony Doerr, but sets them in the dry landscapes of Tony Hillerman. Make it your book club pick: everyone will be talking about it for weeks to come.Noah Milligans other books:Five Hundred PoorAn Elegant Theory
