“Outstanding....Our Lady of the Forest is surely one of this year’s best novels.”—The Plain Dealer

“An intense and affecting journey of faith, miracle and humanity.”—The Denver Post

“Like a latter-day Dostoyevsky, Guterson dips into the world of ordinary people....A disturbing novel that challenges us to consider the power and mystery of faith, and what role religious belief should play in an unjust world.”—Chicago Tribune

“Epic....Eccentric, accomplished....[Guterson is] writing with more humor than ever before.”—The New York Times Book Review

“A thoughtful...rumination on faith and human frailty.”—Entertainment Weekly
