Table of Contents

"As rendered through Ms. McDermott's rich, supple prose, and infused with her quiet emotional wisdom, the story of these three children and their family assumes a kind of mythic resonance: it becomes a parable about all families and all families' encounters with love, mortality, and sorrow."--The New York Times
 
"A brilliant, highly complex, extraordinary piece of fiction and a triumph for its author."--Chicago Tribune
 
"McDermott's novels can't be relegated to plot or thematic conceit.  It is the sweep of her sentences, many of them as luxurious and sure of themselves as a cat stretching in the sun.  And it is the remarkable microscopic attention to humanity--the private gestures and telltale routines that make us who we are."--The Boston Sunday Globe
