Review:
"Ambitious, wise...unforgettable...an engrossingly good read...a novel that explores timeless concerns of faith, love, and morality."--" Atlanta Journal and Constitution"Skillful and memorable...full of surprises...without question, her best to date...a tale so spellbinding the reader hates to put it down...Thought-provoking while it entertains, it lifts the reader's spirits, leaving him or her better for having read it."--" San Diego Union-Tribune"Brilliant...an elegant, intelligent, and necessary novel--the best book yet from Gail Godwin."--" Los Angeles Times Book Review"Haunting...superb...the novel dazzles."--" Philadelphia Inquirer"Remarkable...I don't know more than a few contemporary novels as full of grace as Gail Godwin's "Father Melancholy's Daughter."--" USA Today
