Critics Review
The work of a great storyteller
The work of a great storyteller * Washington Post *
A novel planned on the grandest possible scale…One of those occasions when a writer has aimed high and then summoned every ounce of energy, talent, seriousness, and passion of which he was capable…It is an entirely interesting and impressive book * New York Herald Tribune *
When the book club ended a year ago, I said I would bring it back when I found the book that was moving…and this is a great one. I read it for myself for the first time and then I had some friends read it. And we think it might be the best novel we’ve ever read! – Oprah Winfrey
A strange and original work of art * New York Times Book Review *
A moving, crying pageant with wilderness strengths – Carl Sandburg
