Reviews

"Deeply appealing ... A finely and lovingly written book." --New York Times Book Review "Amazing ... More than a sequel to the family saga of the first installment ... Readers who may have feared that Rouaud was a one-book wonder will be both reassured and astonished by his second novel, Of Illustrious Men." --Philadelphia Inquirer "Rouaud's images are always beautiful, and even the most banal scene has the warm luminescence of an autumn afternoon." --Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "Only confirms what a talented and dedicated writer Mr. Rouaud is ... In every way, it is a worthy successor to Fields of Glory." --New York Times Book Review
