Reviews
“. . . a psychologically compelling and indelible novel; Stegner’s smooth, flowing prose style and dead-accurate descriptions (sometimes heartrending, sometimes wickedly funny) keep drawing the reader deeper and deeper into her story.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“. . . a sensitive, fiercely intelligent portrait of a friendship—and its rupture—over time. . . . Lush descriptions of nature and powerful metaphysical riffs on death, sex, love and the meaning—or lack thereof—of life.”
—Publishers Weekly
“. . . a remarkable sensitivity to both the physical and emotional territory of her setting.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Gutsy, unpretentious writing . . . a darkly layered psychological tale that throws off the most surprising, floodlit revelations about love and friendship.”
—San Jose Mercury News
