The Fox Woman (2000)
(Fox Woman, book 1)
Kij Johnson
"A magnificent book, powerfully and profoundly moving; in its moods and atmosphere, utterly magical, a genuine and unique work of high art. The Fox Woman immediately sets the author in the front rank of today's novelists."
thumb
Going Through the Gate (1997)
Janet S Anderson
"A work of exceptional emotional range and power."
thumb
The Woman in the Wall (1997)
Patrice Kindl
"Thoroughly convincing and deeply moving. Whether we read the story as an allegory, an elaborate metaphor, even a bittersweet dream, the feelings and insights are precise and real, enhanced all the more by a wonderfully wry and rueful humor."
