Book Review
“Enviably artful work—carefully wrought, canny in its insights, sly
in its presentation, sneaky in its revelations.”—Chicago
Tribune
“Extraordinarily poignant . . . Brotherly Love is all bulletproof
prose and flinty-eyed bravissimo. . . . But the quieter, sadder
aspects of the novel are its strongest points.”—The Boston
Globe
“Tautly and often exquisitely written.”—Los Angeles Times
