Industry Reviews
"Ungainly but beguiling....It fairly pulses with life."
(03/23/2008)
"This is no novel-as-biopic, but a fictional wonderland comprising people who actually existed, and stuff that actually happened, and places that you can actually visit, made all the more gloriously real-seeming by Hunt's magical yarn-spinning." (Best of 2008 finalist)
