This is one of the finest novels I have read this year-a lyrical, evocative tale of pioneer life from an immensely talented debut author.” (Historical Novels Review) There’s a love for the land and the immigrant spirit throughout the book. The lyrical style, the riveting historical material, and the treatment of prejudice make the novel a great book-club choice.” (Booklist (starred review)) Mitchell’s harrowing story delivers an unforgettable literary tribute to an immigrant people and their struggle. Mitchell’s extraordinary rendering of human suffering is matched by her ability to give powerful imaginative shape to the will to survive, to care for others, and to forgive the most brutal of trespasses.” (Janice Kulyk Keefer, author of The Ladies' Lending Library) A powerhouse of a debut that grips from start to finish.” (Steven Galloway, author of the The Cellist of Sarajevo)
