"The most absorbing, most intelligent and most wholly satisfying novel I've read in a good while--certainly since Richard Ford's Pulitzer-winning "Independence Day . . . "A beautiful and haunting novel of character."--Don Fry, "Seattle Times"
""In The Deep Midwinter" comes along at a time when people have stopped talking about The Great American Novel. That's too bad, because this just might be it."--Kate Tuttle, " The Boston Book Review"
"Robert Clark . . . has an ear for dialogue that's pitch perfect and an impeccable eye for detail . . . A moving and provocative novel, "In the Deep Midwinter" marks a fine debut."--Ruth Coughlin, " The New York Times Book Review"
"Clark unfolds the story's moral dramas with rare assurance and grownup charity . . ." In the Deep Midwinter" not only shows how love can lead to suffering, but also, more interestingly, points out how suffering can lead to love."--Pico Iyer, "Time"
