Critics Review

“White will transport readers to that place where the language is languid, the bees hum … and everybody– in a nice kind of way–is a little off-kilter.” –San Francisco Chronicle
“An enchanting work, as delicately stitched as a spider web.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer
“A novel of many perspectives… . On one level, Quite a Year for Plums is about chickens and peanut cultivars and pine- straw fires; on another, it’s about art and impermanence and freedom.” –The New York Times Book Review
“Deliciously funny… . As tasty as a 12-egg poundcake, pungent as tea olive and crafty as a crow.” –Atlanta Journal-Constitution
