Review:
"Saturated with kaleidoscopic, erotic description and driven by a keen awareness of race and class, this lush historical work opens a door to an exotic, imaginary world."-Publishers Weekly
"A haunting, almost hallucinatory work that seems destined to propel Powell to wider recognition."-Chicago Tribune
"Brilliant writing and the careful sculpturing of characters enables us to experience the crossing of boundaries. . . . Powell has achieved something wonderful-a postmodern tale and a darned good yarn."-Ms.
