Reviews
Meditative and politely laconic, this is a terrific collection from a writer who thinks and feels and tells stories with an engagingly distilled candor and assurance all his own.--Eileen Battersby
A powerful, meditative collection. The title story is a masterpiece.
It may be difficult to discern which has had a greater influence on Lynch, his Irish ethnicity or his Michigan upbringing, but the result is a lyricism coupled with a locale of abundant natural beauty and an attachment to the offbeat characters who are its inhabitants.--Robert Birnbaum
[Lynch] writes with a poetic precision and beauty capable of inspiring sheer joy.--Christopher Walton
