Industry Reviews
"Williams is an old-fashioned storyteller, and the suspension of disbelief is an absolute requirement....The writing is strained and at times distinctly purple in hue, attempting to seduce the reader with its lyricism....The very title of the book, however, signposts the writer's intention; the story, the characters and the setting represent ideals, and it is unfair, perhaps, to compare them to mundane reality."
Literary Review - Louise Guinness (07/19/1999)
"An appealing romantic tale...[but] his penchant for homiletic simplification...may make you begin enraptured by the tale's clarity of folktale and finish stupefied by the formulaic smugness..."
Trilling
"[A]n exquisite book--a radiant expression of love's redemptive power....His evocative, lush writing style has the richness of old wine....Williams' deeply romantic vision might seem out of kilter with today's faithless, cynical and violent world, but he is not oblivious to life's injustice."
