An outstanding achievement....Robinson's writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre. The book generates a soaring optimism. Publishers Weekly
Through a blend of dirt-under-fingernails naturalism and lyrical magical realism, Robinson invites us to share his characters' intensely personal, intensely loyal attachment to what they have. The result is a bittersweet utopia that may shame you into entertaining new hope for the future. The New York Times Book Review
