Review

"Eloquent, imaginative. . . . The creativity and vigor that made A Midwife's Tale an instant classic are also present [here]."--Newsday

"With The Age of Homespun, [Ulrich] has truly outdone herself."--The New York Times Book Review

"Remarkable . . . [Ulrich] performs like a virtuoso, conjuring up the small details she then weaves into her larger stories. . . . She dazzles." --Chicago Tribune

"Lively and captivating. . . . [Ulrich] quilts a new narrative, one that both probes and explodes the myths surrounding the idealized era of 'homespun.'" --Los Angeles Times
