once again demonstrates he is one of the bravest and most talented novelists writing today." -EOWYN IVEY author of To the Bright Edge of the World and the Pulitzer Prize Finalist The Snow Child "A novel in conversation with Faulkner and Melville and possibly even Robert Louis Stevenson. ... A writer both original and well aware of the writers who have come before him. ... Bold and ambitious." -PETER TURCHI author of Maps of the Imagination "Perpetua's Kin blew me away with its stark, astonishing music...so uncannily beautiful, so powerfully strange. This is a flat-out brilliant book." -LENI ZUMAS author of Red Clocks "Gorgeous...devastating...lyrical...addictive." -DIANAH H. Powell's Books Staff Pick "A tour de force...Exquisitely wrought." -JUSTIN HOCKING author of The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld "Compelling characters ... lyric majesty ... a master storyteller." -GINA OCHSNER author of The Hidden Letters of Velta B.

"[Makes] the past not only vividly real but essential to our understanding of the complicated present."
-SCOTT NADELSON author of The Fourth Corner of the World "I very much hope [Perpetua's Kin] reaches as many readers' hands as possible...expansive in scope and ideas...enchanting." -HANS WEYANDT Milkweed Books (MN) "Expertly imagined...from the battlefields of the Civil War to Ocean Beach in 1940s San Francisco...Much to contemplate in this thought-provoking novel." -MARION ABBOTT Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore (CA) |

lingering over passages and yet eager to rush on."
