Industry Reviews "Park's deeply layered plot is built as slowly and as meticulously as Maggie's scoring...A winner at every level." (03/01/2008)
"Park evokes the characters and settings with her customary skill and talent for detail; she shows unusual sensitivity in writing about war...." (03/24/2008)
"[A] tender tale, full of introspection and the sort of superstitious bargaining with God that is second nature to a diehard baseball fan." (03/01/2008)
