Critical Praise

Grace and Five Fortunes

—

"Taken on its own terms, this novel contains a fascinating collection of Southern customs. Its use of dialect is spare and elegant... male readers will recognize and sympathize with the doctor's timeless dilemma. "

——The Washington Post

"In addition to being beautifully written and intriguingly suspensful, A Dream of Wolves, is a marvelous evocation of place and character, right down to the flinty-eyed stare of the backwoods folk of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. A raw and powerful achievement. "

——Anita Shreve, author

of The Pilot's Wife "A Dream of Wolves is the work of a master craftsman. It is original, complicated, compelling and utterly believable, and Michael C. White makes it looks easy. A wonderful read. "

——Beth Gutcheon, author of Saying

"A Dream of Wolves is that rare treat, an intelligent potboiler. White is clearly in control of the many characters here, and he skillfully evokes the class tensions, racism and anti-Yankee sentiment of this region. "

——The New York Times Book Review
