Critical Praise

"A vivid and affecting portrait of the way many of us struggle- and, when possible, take comfort-in the real world."

——People

"A DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE TALE THAT BRIMS WITH COMPASSION AND WISDOM, weaving laugh-out-loud set pieces with infinitely tender observations about the human condition. . . . Once again, Edgerton has crafted a little treasure of a novel-funny, wistful, packed with truth and humanity."

——Charlotte Observer

"[A] Southern tale-spinning master . . . The bonus of the novel is its vintage sense of humor-trademark Edgerton-strewn throughout the story."

——Rocky Mountain News

"Graceful and often painfully funny . . . Among the delights here are the smart dialogue, the pointed satire . .. and most of all, the chorus of idiosyncratic, opinionated characters."

——The New York Times Book Review
