—Susan Lynne Harkins, The Orlando Sentinel
“More lyrical than didactic, the stories are burnished by the rich art of Mr. Chappell, one of the South’s more gifted writers.”
—Bob Trimble, The Dallas Morning News
“More I cannot wish you than the opportunity to come under the spell of Chappell’s stories.… You’ll think you’ve died and gone to storytelling heaven.”
—David Finkle, The Trenton Times
“Chappell possesses perhaps the finest ear for Southern speech of any writer since Flannery O’Connor. The ten tales recollected here sing with the sort of music that begs to be read aloud.”
—Ron Carter, The Richmond Times Dispatch
“Fred Chappell has written a novel specific in its Southernisms but universal in its knowledge of the binding cords of family and language.”
—William Porter, The Arizona Republic (Phoenix)
“This is a novel of sweetness and profundity, written in a style as eloquent as it is gracious.”
—William W. Starr, The State (Columbia, South Carolina)
“A book of subtle beauty … filled with intriguing characters and beautiful writing. There’s something important happening at every level here, and by the end of the story, Chappell’s lucent prose, his wit, his generous view of humanity bring deep satisfaction.”
—Anne Barnhill, The Winston-Salem Journal
“Dazzling.… This novel explores women and their complexities, yes, and in significant ways, but it is also very much about the power of story: how story not only communicates meaning, but makes meaning and investigates meaning. Pleasure yourself; take time to delight in the inventiveness of our most inventive storyteller.”
—Sally Buckner, The Spectator
