An accomplished and, at times, harrowing novel full of the kind of
psychological power and exactitude that first-rate fiction does so
well * Guardian *
One of Richard Bausch's many talents is the forthright ease with
which he delivers his characters-and readers-to the gravest
questions of love, faith, and ultimately God, even as he nimbly
hides the answers in plain sight * New York Times *
Terrific... Bausch is a master storyteller who appreciates
subtleties most of us can't see, much less write * Seattle Times
*
Bausch is very good at showing how rational, intelligent people
allow themselves to commit the irrational act of falling in love.
Superb * The Times *
