Industry Reviews
"Dillard's portraits are painted with stark, radiant strokes lightened by passages of wry humour. Her writing often has a lyrical beauty but it is also uncompromising; when she edited her original manuscript down from 1,400 pages to 200, she did not do away with the obscure words. Yet her style is accessible and the writing compelling."

"An anthropologist's eye and a poet's precision distinguish this superbly written novel....The compact, elliptical narrative will continue to pervade the reader's consciousness long after the novel ends." (starred review)

"Each paragraph of Dillard's novel is a thing of beauty."
