WASHINGTON POST– … Beautiful & Engrossing. Phillips’s artistic conscience won’t let her flinch from the truth, but her generous heart won’t let it be the last word. She leaves readers with a rueful yet hopeful maxim that could easily serve as an epigraph. “Endurance is Strength”
WALL STREET JOURNAL – A story of trauma and restoration in the aftermath of the Civil War . . . harrowing, visceral scenes of war … the daily business of convalescence … Goodness is a real thing in this novel—a verifiable force … do we still have the sensitivity to discern it.”
KEN BURNS, FILMMAKER “A luminous beauty in Phillips’s prose… the dark interiors of war … or the equally complex and fraught lives of so-called ‘ordinary’ people’ … peace and loss, death and transcendence – a remarkable alchemy.”
