"Gutcheon’s gift is for pure storytelling... Her characters and settings are alive, sparkling with deft touches of period detail; her narrative voice is knowing and wry, exasperated and affectionate."

—New York Newsday

"Good-Bye and Amen is a tour de force of structure and voice. Gutcheon had me at the first sentence and I didn’t put the book down until I had finished it. Marvelous and memorable."

—Karen Joy Fowler, author of Wit’s End and The Jane Austen Book Club
