Review:

“One of the most compelling novels I have ever read . . . a work of remarkable importance.” —The Village Voice “Truly great novels aren’t written very often, but Beyond the Pale deserves all the glowing adjectives available . . . filled with memorable scenes and glorious characters.” —Bay Area Reporter “A wonderful novel . . . I wept like a fool for pages; these characters had become so strongly defined, I too felt like family.” —Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art “Beyond the Pale is a remarkable and unforgettable chronicle told through wisdom, passion and clarity by one of our community’s foremost storytellers.” —Feminist Bookstore News “Sensuous, moving, inspiring: Beyond the Pale is a wonderful novel.” —Sarah Waters, author of Fingersmith
