Critics Review

“Impeccably researched and beautifully written.” —Karen White, New York Times bestselling author“McMorris’s second novel…gracefully blossoms through swift prose and rich characters. This gripping story about two “brothers” in arms and a young woman caught in between them hits all the right chords.” —Publishers Weekly”[McMorris] creates a believable world…all while perfectly capturing the flavor of the period. A sweeping yet intimate novel that will please both romantics and lovers of American history.”—Kirkus Reviews“Rich in historical detail, peopled with well-developed characters, and spiced with tension and drama, Bridge of Scarlet Leaves is a novel to savor, and then to share with a friend.” —Historical Novels ReviewPraise for Kristina McMorris’s other novels“Richly woven and absorbing tale… compelling tale of survival and second chances, and of one immigrant’s fantastic journey in the first decades of the 20th century.” —The Boston Globe on The Edge of Lost“The reader traipses through the early 1900s from Dublin bars to 19th-century Brooklyn, N.Y. We meet historical figures in passing like the vaudeville performer George M. Cohan and Al Capone along the way…Themes of shifting identity and assimilation run through the book.” —The Portland Tribune on The Edge of Lost“Kristina McMorris evokes such a strong sense of place that to open her books feels less like reading and more like traveling. Her absorbing new novel..[is an] epic, deeply felt tale of struggle and second chances… a transporting piece of historical fiction.” —BookPage on The Edge of Lost“McMorris’s attention to historical detail captures the poignancy of old letters or treasured relics that have borne witness to ancestral emotions.” —The Bellingham Herald on The Pieces We Keep
