"With Perpetua's Kin M. Allen Cunningham
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 "Compelling characters ... lyric majesty ... a master storyteller." -GINA OCHSNER author of The Hidden Letters of Velta B. "A tour de force performance." -JUSTIN HOCKING author of The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld "This narrative's power is irresistible." -PETER ROCK author of Spells and My Abandonment "Beautiful...reminiscent of The Green Age of Asher Witherow...takes the reader right in...a book to savor...a joy to read." -JANET BORETA founder of Orinda Books (CA) "Cunningham has once again raised the bar on the art of the novel. I walk away from a reading like this ruminating on the largeness of life." -NANCY SCHEEMAKER Northshire Books (NY) |
"[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) |
"Cunningham's writing is beautiful and fluid. I found myself torn,
lingering over passages and yet eager to rush on."
