Reviews

"Gutcheon's gift is for pure storytelling. . . . Her characters and settngs are alive, sparkling with deft touches of period detail; her narrative voice is knowing and wry, exasperated and affectionate." -- New York Newsday

"Good-Bye and Amen is a tour de force of structure and voice. Gutcheon had me at the first sentence and I didn't put the book down until I had finished it. Marvelous and memorable." -- Karen Joy Fowler, author of Wit's End and The Jane Austen Book Club
