Review
"A masterfully crafted literary work. It is rich in lyrical, poetic passages, full of sensual metaphors....An impressive testament to the magic of language and a powerful rendering of the struggles and defeats and victories of women on their own."
"Ms. Braverman possesses a magical, incantatory voice and the ability to loft ordinary lives into the heightened world of myth."
"Stunning...Sentence after sentence unfolds like an endless succession of startling exotic blossoms. It iwll be praised as establishing a new mythology, most likely feminist mythology."
"We've had few fiction writers in our tradition who hold an entire book together out of such moon-spun inebriation with English....Palm Latitudes is not so much a novel as it is the text of a cantata for three female voices, one of the strangest, bravest, and depending on your taste, possibly one of the most appealing inventions in recent years."
Now back in print, "a masterfully crafted literary work"
