There are lyric passages in "Better a Dinner of Herbs," but its mood stems rather from that of the ballad, indigenous to Mr. Reece's country and the substance of his earlier book of poems. Here is none of the self-consciousness that is commonly associated with the 'primitive' in contemporary writing or art. The author's understanding and acceptance of his characters and the directness of his portrayal give them worth in their own right. "Better a Dinner of Herbs" is an unusual novel, sincere and oddly stirring.--"New York Herald Tribune"
Mr. Reece weaves well. With simplicity, honesty, and an almost biblical reliance on the repeated image, he balances emotion with desperate event. The result is powerful and often beautiful.--"Saturday Review"
