Critical Praise

"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

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