Review:

'This is truly fearless writing: ambitious, beautiful, unapologetically passionate.' --Barbara Kingsolver, author 'The Poisonwood Bible' and founder of the Bellwether Prize

'A novel full of unspeakable strife but also joy, humour, and love, ''hope always [chases] close on the heels of despair,'' thanks to a writer who knows when to keep a steady pace and when to explode into an all-out sprint.' --O: The Oprah Magazine
