Review:
Mesmerizing.--Margaret Flanagan
Mesmerizing. --Margaret Flanagan
Mesmerizing. --Margaret Flanagan"
[MacLeod's] entire oeuvre . . . [is] a new land that [readers'] imaginations can seize like a manifest destiny.--Thomas Mallon
You will have scenes from this majestic novel burned into your mind forever.--Alice Munro
His writing, graceful and elegiac, has the resonance of Steinbeck, and the violence is as raw and unchecked. But his pictures--of the men, the land and their fate--are more fragile, like old photographs pulled from a wallet. Endlessly creased, they will fall apart unless you unfold them with great care and patience--which MacLeod does beautifully.
