Praise for this book

"A brilliant novel, powerful, sensuous, earthy, and often quite luminously magical. The story makes sense, the characters are well drawn and sympathetic (including their faults) and the pacing is about right because readers will wish to revel--descriptions have a wonderful richness and precision of language and there are many brilliant scenes." - Ian Watson
