Industry Reviews
"This arresting, surprising novel of reluctant heroism is about nothing less than nobility."
(11/01/2007)

"Curtis's talent for dealing with painful periods of history with grace and sensitivity is as strong as ever."
(10/01/2007)

"This is not a zip-ahead-and-see-what-happens-next novel. It's for settling into and savoring the rich, masterful storytelling...."
(08/15/2007)

"Many readers drawn to the book by humor will find themselves at times on the edges of their seats in suspense and, at other moments, moved to tears. A fine, original novel from a gifted storyteller."
(09/01/2007)
