Blurbs:
- "Isak Dinesen... Rebecca West... Gertrude Stein and Edith Wharton. To this company, in the tradition of Hemingway and others, and in many ways as brilliant as the best of them, we must now add Maria Thomas." Marianne Wiggins, The New York Times Book Review
- "Have you wondered what happened to the East African world of Beryl Markham, Isak Dinesen and Ernest Hemingway... [Maria Thomas] writes with the same skill, sympathy and (ultimately) detachment as her famous predecessors. And she writes with such clarity of detail, stripped of wishful political illusions, that Africa shimmers in the reader's mind." Gail Boyer, St. Louis Post Dispatch
- "To read it is to walk through some inaccesible, exotic, ruined place--and to suddenly come upon an unexpected treasure." Elizabeth Stewart, San Jose Mercury
- "Exquisite. The year's best novel." Bruce Allen, USA Today
- "It is a poetic exploration of half a dozen diffrerent themes: 'civilized' versus 'primitive', male versus female, an effort to suggest a profound and particular woman's way of knowing... There is an extraordinary richness to Thomas' writing." Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times
- "Impressive." Vogue
- "Relentlessy intelligent." Richard Lipez, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
- "Sharp, surprising images of Africa." Elle
