Reviews
"Brilliant.... Absorbing.... A thrilling work of art." -- Chicago Sun-Times "A family portrait that is also a near-epic investigation into the broad landscape, the thousand dark acres of the human heart.... The book has all the stark brutality of a Shakespearean tragedy." -- The Washington Post Book World "Powerful and poignant." -- The New York Times Book Review "Superb.... There seems to be nothing Smiley can't write about fabulously well." -- San Francisco Chronicle "It has been a long time since a novel so surprised me with its power to haunt....
