enhanced by poetic prose, vivid accounts of war, and sympathetic characters whom many of us will find familiar.” —
“Mitch Cullin is the kind of writer whom you can savor for the beauty of his prose… As with Cullin's work in general, it is the language that makes the book worth your effort. The fact that he is able to weave such a gripping story as well is a bonus for the reader.” —
“Cullin has a naturally poetic style, which tends toward revelatory moments and memorable sensory descriptions… The novel ends with a satisfying twist that ultimately renders it a tender-hearted and moving … examination of love and loss.” —
“After Cullin reveals the deep bond binding husband and wife, he summons a devastatingly powerful ending.” —
“Mitch Cullin is a tremendous storyteller and writer… The story is an emotional rollercoaster, so grab your heart and a box of tissues and give it a good read. Cullin's writing will be a gift to you.” —
