Reviews

"Baird is brilliant, and so is his remarkable novel about faith, family, and the life of the mind. Read this wonderful book. You'll be glad to own it."
--Annie Dillard

"I think that there are miracles in the world, but realistic novels don't usually tackle them. Baird's intelligence, compassion and humor illuminate this astonishingly original debut, which somehow manages to ask hard questions about how to live while also being enormously fun to read."
--Nell Freudenberger

"A big-hearted novel about the biggest questions--marriage, religion, parenthood, meaning. The Nimbus is comic and profound, a novel that practically glows. Robert P. Baird is a huge talent."
--Elliot Ackerman
