Review:
"Lyrical . . . Memorable and accomplished."-- "The New York Times Book Review"
"Novels don't come more deeply felt than Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study . . . The writing [is] a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance."-- Matthew Gilbert, "The Boston Globe"
"The story of Jonathan, Clare, Bobby, and Alice is also the story of the 70's and 80's in America-- and vice versa. It is destined to last."-- David Leavitt, author of "The Marble Quilt"
"Cunningham has written a novel that all but reads itself."-- "The Washington Post Book World"
"Once in a great while, there appears a novel so spellbinding in its beauty and sensitivity that the reader devours it nearly whole, in great greedy gulps, and feels stretched sore afterwards, having been expanded and filled. Such a book is [this one]."-- Sherry Rosenthal, "San Diego Tribune"
"Luminous with the wonders and anxieties that make childhood mysterious . . . A Home at the End of the World is a remarkable accomplishment."-- Laura Frost, "San Francisco Review"
"Brilliant and satisfying . . . As good as anything I've read in years . . . Hope in the midst of tragedy is a fragile thing, and Cunningham carries it with masterful care."-- Gayle Kidder, "San Diego Union"
"Exquisitely written . . . Lyrical . . . An important book."-- "Charleston Sunday News and Courier"
"Cunningham writes with power and delicacy . . . We come to feel that we know Jonathan, Bobby, and Clare as if we lived with them; yet each one retains the mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art."--Richard Eder," The LosAngeles Times"
