Critical Praise

"Roomy, intelligent, exhilarating, and darkly comic . . . Dickensian in scope . . . Quite stunning and very ambitious."

——Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Extraordinary, so original, and so enriching . . . A rare creation in the somehow exhausted world of late 20th century fiction . . . Readers will come to the end feeling sorry to leave [this] richly textured and carefully wrought world."
