Critical Praise

"Swain Wolfe is a magician--his hypnotic prose makes the familiar strange, the strange familiar. "

——Rick DeMarinis, author of Coming Triumph of the Free World

"An irresistible novel about the pleasures of falling in love, the tensile bond between women of kin, and the pain of discovering just what it means to be an outlaw, just how dangerous it is to break the rules. "

——James Welch, author of Fools Crow

"In The Woman Who Lives In the Earth, Swain Wolfe introduced himself as a writer of great imagination and sensitivity. Now...he proves himself to be a storyteller of awesome proportions. "

——Sandra Scofield, author of Plain Seeing

" The Lake Dreams the Sky is about the clash between a remnant tribal culture and the nonculture of the Western town. But greater than its clash is its sentence-by-sentence music. Swain Wolfe's voice--with its quiet slippings into myth, eroticism, vision, dream--bends the mind the way a prism bends light or a blues man his guitar strings....Mr. Wolfe, for my money, is the most formidable Montana late-bloomer since Norman Maclean. "

——David James Duncan, author of The River Why
