One of the Guardian's most anticipated books for 2026, the first ever collection of short stories from the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend
'Once you discover Sigrid Nunez, you don't look back' ANNE ENRIGHT
'Among the most interesting writers of our generation' INDEPENDENT
'Nunez [has] a no-nonsense honesty, a matchless intelligence, an unswerving empathy, and a breathtaking intimacy of voice' JENNY MUSTARD
'A treat' OPRAH DAILY, Best Books of the Summer 2026
It Will Come Back to You takes in thirteen stories - never before collected together - from a career spanning three decades, which has seen Nunez become one of contemporary fiction's most distinctive voices. Moving from an inappropriate teenage crush to a therapist's second chance at love, in this collection Nunez maintains her irrepressible humour, bite, and insight, while exploring the philosophical questions we have come to expect from her writing.
'Nunez injects these stories with a deep tenderness and a wry sense of humor, all the while challenging our conceptions of what it means to live an ordinary life' HARPERS BAZAAR, Best Summer Books 2026
'Long live Sigrid Nunez' LAURA MARLING
'A treasure trove' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'I am committed, until one of us dies, to Nunez's novels. They are short, wise, provocative, funny' DWIGHT GARNER, NEW YORK TIMES
'There are two kinds of people in the world, people who haven't read Sigrid Nunez, and people who love Sigrid Nunez' CLAIRE KOHDA
'Wonderful ... Her uncertain protagonists in an uncertain world are the perfect literary creations: vexed in their own lives but delightful to encounter' BIDISHA
