"Tense, poetic, and heart-stopping." -Kirkus Reviews
A glacially suspenseful novel of memory and desire, violence andforgiveness, set against the backdrop of the Texas hill country. Told in a prose by turns luxuriant and brutal, Watson's gripping debutinterweaves the stories of quiet, wayward high school senior Jonathan,and a priest who long ago lost his only son.
Profound, searing, and funny, Kirkus Reviews has called A Window on the Door
"gut-wrenching and nearly addictive, as if the reader couldn't possibly take another bite and yet still craves more," and author James Watson "a subtle and yet masterly writer."
"A quiet, beautiful, stunning book. Unforgettable characters and prose that will make you weep." -Luke T. Harrington, author of Ophelia Alive.

Review
A "deeply layered and heartbreaking ride. The story is told through asequence of vignettes ... and each one complexly falls atop the next,pushing both the tension and the story faster until it bursts, albeitgorgeously, in a final climax ... A haunting and beautiful tale offriendship, forgiveness, and forgetting." -Kirkus Reviews
