The Stone Girl: A Novel Hardcover – June 16, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
The Stone Girl is a riveting tale of deception, vengeance, and power set against the haunting beauty of the Adirondack wilderness.
Deep in the Adirondack Mountains lies a speck of a town called Rangeley. There isn’t much to this tiny town, but it is at the crossroads of serene fishing streams off the Mink River, pristine hunting grounds in the surrounding mountains, and vast estates of the extremely rich. It is also the gateway to the Mohawk Club, which houses the Lost Boys, an exclusive group of wealthy and powerful men with global influence and a taste for depravity.
Raised wild and poor in the shadows of the Mohawk Club, Evie Quimby was a teenager when she first fell victim to the Lost Boys. Seventeen years later, she is now a world-renowned art restorer famous for repairing even the most-broken statues. After spending half her life in Paris, establishing her reputation and raising her daughter Chloé, Evie has come a long way from the girl who left Rangeley behind. But when Chloé receives a visit from an elegant stranger who claims to be an old friend of her mother’s, the ghosts of Evie’s past return in full force, pulling her back to the North Country of her girlhood and into the tangled, intricate web of the Lost Boys. Evie bands together with her formidable mother and an embattled heiress, both victims of the Lost Boys, in pursuit of an unusual and heart-stopping vengeance.

Editorial Reviews
Review
― Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"A sprawling baroque thriller that had me in its grip all the way."
― Richard E. Grant, Oscar-nominated actor, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
"In The Stone Girl, Dirk Wittenborn…tackles Wall Street corruption, sexual assault, and trauma in settings so well-realized you forget it is fiction.…If you were looking to lie down with a baroque thriller, be ready to sit back up; The Stone Girl is quite a ride!"
― Mark Anthony Libatique, Avenue Magazine
"Dirk Wittenborn’s vibrant female characters refuse to turn themselves into commodities or victims. Suspenseful, witty, and wise, it is a compelling thriller."
― Susanna Moore, author of Miss Aluminum

Evie has been a victim of bullies all her life. She was subjected to their torments as a girl by male classmates who relentlessly teased her about a large birthmark covering half of her face. The boys calling themselves the Morlocks vandalized property and generally made a nuisance of themselves, but always managed to slip out of formal charges. Evie’s only refuge from them was spending time with her father, Buddy, a rugged outdoorsman who taught her to hunt, shoot, and fish. Flo, her mother, is also a stable influence in Evie’s life but worries that she can’t protect her.
When Evie has a chance encounter with Lulu Mannheim, a wealthy heiress who rescues her from a sticky situation with the Morlocks, she finds she has met a kindred spirit and a mentor. Through Lulu, Evie is granted opportunities she could never imagine. Lulu, a capricious thirty-something rebel, defies society’s rules and lives by her own code of fairness. Lulu helps Evie discover a talent for restoring artwork when she repairs a rare broken statue.
Lulu also becomes the avenue by which Evie is introduced to members of the Mohawk Club, the exclusive resort for billionaires who hunt game. One of the members offers to pay for Evie’s education at a prestigious school. Evie is little prepared for what happens next, which upends her life. The culmination of this part of the story has Evie living in Paris, married to a renowned art restorer, doing restoration work herself, and having a child, Chloe.
The book alternates between an omniscient third-person narrator viewpoint and those of Evie, Flo, and Chloe. While the story contains truly suspenseful scenes, I found my inner voice interrupting me, asking, “how did she do that?” This distraction kept me from altogether buying into what I was reading. Because the storyline is so large, the author compresses much of the story in information dumps.
If you’re in the mood for a revenge thriller where misogynists get their due, you’ll find this book entertaining. It has plot twists, a storyline from Hollywood, and plenty of action. The novel covers years and has a complicated plot. If, however, you’re looking for more nuanced characters, you might find it lacking in substance.
