Dalla quarta di copertina:

"Wolfe's disarmingly simple novel, part Aesopian fable, part environmentalist parable, clearly aspires to the timeless, ageless stature of The Little Prince."
--Publishers Weekly

"Prose like night air..."
--Kirkus Reviews

"The Woman Who Lives in the Earth is turning into 'the little book that lives in the heart' thanks to the persistent power of word-of-mouth."
--Rocky Mountain News

"A remarkable book, a fable of enchantment, written with grace and elegance, a memorable story of land and love."
--Kinesis

"Beautiful and profound, both fantastical and utterly real. Swain Wolfe has given us a truly useful story, a moral fable for these and all times."
--William Kittredge

"Enchantingly told and beautifully realized... his prose resonating with a deft and heartfelt honesty that owes as much to poetry as to the straightforward storytelling style of, say, a Hemingway."
--Fantasy and Science Fiction
