Review
“[Nancy] Pickard writes richly textured fiction about families and
relationships, about hatred and lust and love, about loyalty and
betrayal, and most of all about the corrosive power of
secrets.”—The Boston Globe
“A novel that simultaneously qualifies as a gripping read, a master
character study and as literary . . . exceedingly rare.”—The Kansas
City Star
“Pickard’s tales of Kansas life are filled with gravitas and
small-town drama. . . . The Scent of Rain and Lightning seems
certain to earn her a much-deserved larger audience.”—The Denver
Post
