Critical Praise

"A novel so foursquare, so delicate and lovely . . . it has the power to exalt the reader."

——The New York Times Book Review

"Resonant and meaningful . . . . A song of praise in honor of the lives it chronicles [and] a story about people's ability to adapt and redeem themselves, to heal the wounds of isolation by moving, gropingly and imperfectly, toward community."

——Richard Tillinghast, The Washington Post Book World
