Reviews

Maggie Jones The New York Times Book Review Hegi pulls up the shades on a rich diversity of lives...with a mature, confident voice.

Susan Salter Reynolds Los Angeles Times [Hegi] takes rickety, empty lives and sees them beyond their plainness, until they glow with meaning -- historical meaning -- and become saints.
