"Crace's signature measured delivery and deliberate focus create
unforgettably poetic passages that quiver with beauty. An
electrifying return to form."
--"Publishers Weekly", starred review
"Rarely does language so plainspoken and elemental tell a story so
richly open to interpretation on so many different levels....With
economy and grace, the award-winning Crace gives his work a
simplicity and symmetry that belie the disturbances beneath the
consciousness of its narrator....Crace continues to occupy a
singular place in contemporary literature."
--"Kirkus Reviews", starred review
