About this title

Review:

'THIRTEEN MOONS brings this vanished world thrillingly alive, retelling the agonizing stories of "the Removal" (of Indians from their ancestral lands) and the lie of "Reconstruction"; creating literally dozens of heart-stopping word pictures . . . building unforgettable characterizations of the sorrow-laden everyman Will . . . One of the great Native American, and American stories, and a great gift to all of us, from one of our very best writers.' (Kirkus Reviews)

'What makes it so appealing is the voice of Will Cooper, which is potent, wry, insightful and utterly convincing. The writing provides a constantly inventive account of the physical world, one that suggests a naturalist's immersion rather than labours of library research. This articulate facility makes Thirteen Moons as rich a fiction as it is an eventful one.' (Andrew Rosenheim, Time Literary Supplement)

'Frazier's second novel is capable of considerable power when it is dramatising a great national trauma.' (Stephen Amidon, The Sunday Times )

'The history that Frazier hauntingly unwinds through Will is as melodic as it is melancholy, but the sublime love story is the narrative's true heart.' (Publishers Weekly)

'Its narrative has a thoroughly human scale and informs just as much as it moves and entertains' (Frank Egerton, The Times )

'THIRTEEN MOONS is a gorgeous book. THIRTEEN MOONS calls COLD MOUNTAIN to mind in its wonder at the natural world; its pacifist undercurrents; its dismay at the dismantling of what matters, and its conviction that one love, no matter how tortured and inexplicable, can be life-defining. The new novel is more ambitious and not always as tightly wound as its predecessor. But its history lessons are more fascinating and various, its prose more vivid and alive.' (Jeff Giles, Newsweek)

'His second novel has landed at the top of the American bestseller lists. It seems well on its way to repeating the success of Cold Mountain. . . the result is a novel whose prose is so carefully wrought that it reads like fragments of a long poem.' (Telegraph)

'The history that Frazier hauntingly unwinds through Will is as melodic as it is melancholy, but the sublime love story is the narrative's true heart.' (Publishers Weekly)

'Frazier's second novel is capable of considerable power when it is dramatising a great national trauma.' (Stephen Amidon, The Sunday Times)

'THIRTEEN MOONS will provide the immense satisfaction of taking a literary journey of magnitude. Whether on a plane, in an office or curled in a window seat, readers who absorb Will's story will find their own lives enriched. THIRTEEN MOONS belongs to the ages.' (LA Times)
