Product Description:
[ News from Heaven: The Bakerton Stories Haigh, Jennifer ( Author ) ] { Hardcover } 2013
Review:
"The characters in Jennifer Haigh's NEWS FROM HEAVEN are so vividly drawn, the inner lives revealed so deftly, with such intelligence and sympathy, that fictional Bakerton, Pennsylvania, takes on the additional weight of, say, Winesburg, Ohio."--Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls

"Jennifer Haigh has accomplished what James Joyce did in Dubliners and Sherwood Anderson in Winesburg, Ohio: render a place with such exactitude the landscape, character, and fate are inextricably linked. One of America's finest novelists, Haigh is now one of our finest short story writers as well."--bestselling author Ron Rash

"Haigh has a gift for creating believable characters of all kinds and placing them into realistic--often heartbreaking--situations. A must read for fans of "Baker Towers" and a good addition to all short-story collections."--Booklist

"An uplifting and radiant book."--Janet Maslin, "New York Times"

"A vibrant, thought-provoking, profoundly readable contribution to the genre. . . . Each of these ten linked stories represents a distinct, shining example of Haigh's remarkable gifts for lyricism, psychological insight, and stealth humor."--Boston Globe

"Outstanding... "News From Heaven" fits quite comfortably in the company of the hybrid novel-in-stories made so popular by predecessors such as Jhumpa Lahiri...and Elizabeth Strout...For Haigh, this small town is a large canvas, one filled in with precise, poignant strokes."--"Washington Post"
