Review:
"Superb... A brilliant, beautiful novel" (Sunday Times)
"In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year... A compulsively readable story" (Stephen King)
"Absorbing and captivating." (Mark Lawson Guardian)
"A powerful and moving novel." (Jonathan Gibbs Independent)
"Quiet Dell has all the elements of a murder mystery, but its emotional scope is larger and more complex. It combines a strange hypnotic and poetic power with the sharp tones of documentary evidence. It offers a portrait of rural America in a time of crisis and dramatises the lives of a number of characters who are fascinating and memorable." (Colm Tóibín)
"An extraordinary book – the best she has written." (Kate Kellaway Observer)
