Praise for Dan O'Brien's previous work: "[O'Brien's] prose is as strong and true as the frontier it evokes, and his presentation of mood and place is acute and gripping." Kirkus Reviews "The metaphors that resonate below the surfaces of [O'Brien's] tales render them enjoyable, satisfying, and thought-provoking." Publishers Weekly "The characters and circumstances O'Brien conjures up are rich and complete. We are drawn into their lives, memories, and longings by a voice that is gentle and compelling ... perceptive and compassionate."
