Reviews

Possesses the haunting appeal of music, the folksy rhythms of an American tale and the lovely, measured grace of an old hymn.
Wonderful . . . peopled with individuals whose ordinary lives are invested with epic quality and truth.
This is a novel that succeeds in affirming life without ducking its hardships.
Two taciturn bachelor brothers, a dim-bulb couple living in a trailer, a quiet preteen boy living with his grandfather, a social worker, and a young mother abandoned by her husband . . . The plain truth is you can’t stop reading or caring about them.
