Recensione:

Advance praise for A Sound Like Thunder

“Brewer is an excellent raconteur, a natural storyteller. Rove MacNee’s voice is poetic and clear, philosophical and practical, and the world he re-creates for the reader is both realistic and strange–just like life.”
–Brad Watson, author of The Heaven of Mercury

“A lyrical evocation of time and place. Rove MacNee, its narrator, is larger than life and a wonderful storyteller. So is Sonny Brewer.”
–William Gay, author of Provinces of Night

“Sonny Brewer has a heart as big as Mobile Bay–and every bit as deep. There’s a lot of hurt in these pages, but there’s great gentleness, too, and plenty of what my grandmother liked to call ‘horse sense.’ A Sound Like Thunder will reverberate long after you read its final pages.”
–Steve Yarbrough, author of The End of California

“In the grand tradition of Huck Finn and My Dog Skip comes Sonny Brewer’s sublime and poignant A Sound Like Thunder. There’s so much to admire in this gorgeous novel, the lyricism and humor and heart–not to mention the author’s good old-fashioned storytelling chops–but what I love most is Brewer’s unflinching exploration of memory, its innocence and experience and its immutable echo.”
–Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Corpus Christi

“Part poetry, part philosophy, part good old-fashioned page-turner, A Sound Like Thunder proves Sonny Brewer is an expert navigator of those most capricious and treacherous of waters: the human heart.”
–Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Tender Hooks
