‘Full, farcical...this tale offers a Toni Morrison-style take on the 1960s Black American South.’ Guardian
‘It's not only the plot that subversively echoes Faulkner's masterpiece As I Lay Dying. Like Faulkner, Parks tells her story through a multiplicity of voices; as many as 20 characters give their slewed versions of the fugitive truth. She has an ultra-sensitive ear for dialogue, though, as you would expect from a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright...Much of the novel demands to be read aloud throatily, between large swigs of bourbon.' Christopher Hart, Daily Telegraph
'Parks wraps the bristling comic touch of Chester Himes and the lyrical mournfulness of Toni Morrison into a tale that touches on the worst of human failings but maintains a deep compassion for its protagonists at the same time.'
