Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Fall '08/Winter '09 Reading Group List“At long last, Dillard is at it again. Known for her gift of braiding ribbons of darkness to frame great light, and tragedy and death to reveal the marvel of life, now she's turned her scope on love, marriage, betrayal, and forgiveness. Slow down your life. Savor every word.”
-- Pepper Parker, Vintage Books, Vancouver, WA
