Critics Review
“For readers of Wild Dark Shore and What Kind of Paradise, this love letter to the UP is a character-driven and introspective novel full of rich descriptions of the natural world.” —Booklist, (Starred Review) “The novel abounds in descriptions of the natural world and bravely asserts a slow, meditative narrative pace. The land, and the animals on it, become central characters in the story, effecting change in Abby as she confronts some uncomfortable realities… Devotion to the natural world intensifies this tale of memory and forgiveness.” —Kirkus Reviews“Diane Les Becquets’ Where the Water Meets the Sky is a beautifully written, evocative novel of love, loss, and how we protect our hearts when the unthinkable happens. I loved moving through the wild landscape of Michigan’s upper peninsula as Les Becquets’ elegantly constructed narrative brought me to the surprising and emotionally satisfying end.” —Tara Conklin, bestselling author of The Last Romantics “Rare is the novel that evokes the natural world with such precision, intimacy, and lushness. Michigan’s UP is brought to magnificent, finely rendered life in Les Becquets’s big-hearted novel. A deeply-affecting, beautiful book that reminds us, in these uncertain times, of what truly matters.” —Rae Meadows, award-winning author of Winterland and I Will Send Rain“The Upper Peninsula of Michigan and all its natural beauty come alive in this spellbinding novel….. I dare you not to fall absolutely in love with this book!” —Ann Hood, author of The Stolen Child
