Recensione:

"Marvelously textured and layered with voices that weave in and out of each other but never collide." --Los Angeles Times

"Cooper's...style is deceptively simple and  direct, and the vale of tears in which her  characters reside is never so deep that a rich chuckle  at a foolish person's foolishness cannot be heard." --Alice Walker

"An old-fashioned morality tale that quickly engages the reader in the lives of a large cast of unforgettable characters." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"The wicked and righteous reap their just rewards in Cooper's calamitous, unabashedly preachy family epic." --The Plain Dealer

"Cooper writes  about small-town life with a verve that nearly bursts off the page."
--Ms
