Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Has the kind of ambling, provincial whimsy found in Richard Russo’s small-town tales and the hard-bitten optimism that colors Larry McMurtry’s…A gifted and original novelist.” —New York Times
“Lynch portrays Brandon with such tenderness and humor that you can’t help but fall in love with him…A moving, optimistic rebuttal of our paranoia.” —Washington Post
“Lynch digs into the strange culture of a US-Canada border town in his lush second novel…Lynch’s depiction of the natural world and his deep sympathy for his characters carry the book…majestic.” —Publishers Weekly
“Another engaging, even heartwarming, encounter with the quirky individualists populating the nation’s upper-left-hand corner…Every character in Lynch’s tale is memorable, each etched with distinctive lines and endearing idiosyncrasies.” —Booklist
“This might sound like an offbeat, aw-shucks comedy or a setup for social tragedy, but, remarkably, Lynch does something different. Playing on our current fears, he shows us that the divides among people aren’t good, then offers a tenderly convincing ending that’s not sentimental.” —Library Journal
