About this title

Synopsis

The Passing Bells

Review

“A capacity to shock, to astonish, and to engage . . . written throughout with economy and wit.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Swift and startling power . . . moving . . . entertaining . . . can absorb you into its fictional landscape as easily as Alice passing through the looking glass.” (Chicago Tribune Book World)

“Well-written, exciting . . . echoes of Hemingway, Graves, and ‘Upstairs, Downstairs,’ with characters who breathe and about whom one cares.” (Library Journal)

“Spellbinding. This is really a start-reading-and-don’t-stop-until-you’re-finished-novel.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Every twenty-five years or so, we are blessed with a war novel, outstanding in that it depicts not only the history of our time, but also its soul.” (West Coast Review of Books)

“Fascinating . . . a timeless tale of the conflicts that emerge from a violent change. It is a delight to read.” (Cleveland Press)
