Praise For This Book:
"If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, you'll love This Tender Land by best selling author William Kent Krueger. This story is as big hearted as they come." Parade Magazine "A picaresque tale of adventure during the Great Depression. Part Grapes of Wrath, part Huckleberry Finn, Krueger's novel is a journey over inner and outer terrain toward wisdom and freedom." Minneapolis Star Tribune "Crafted in exquisitely beautiful prose, this is a story to be treasured outstanding and unforgettable." Historical Novel Review "If you're among of the millions who raced through Where the Crawdads Sing this year and are looking for another expansive, atmospheric American saga, look to the latest from Kreuger." Entertainment Weekly "Long , sprawling, and utterly captivating, readers will eat up every delicious word of it." New York Journal of Books "Rich with graceful writing and endearing characters...this is a book for the ages." Denver Post Praise for Ordinary Grace, winner of the 2014 Edgar Award for Best Novel "Pitch perfect...I loved this book." Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Live by Night and The Given Day Reid's descriptions of Malibu are so evocative that readers will swear they feel the sea breeze on their faces or the grit of the sand between their toes. The Rivas have a believable sibling dynamic, and the family members are complex and delightfully flawed (especially Mick, whose bad decisions reverberate throughout the novel). A compulsively readable story about the bonds between family members and the power of breaking free. KIRKUS REVIEWS Author's Website |
