Praise for Under Heaven
"Guy Gavriel Kay's Under Heaven isn't quite historical fiction, nor
is it quite fantasy. It's set in a slightly reimagined Tang dynasty
China, sometimes seems reminiscent of films like "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon," and depicts the unimaginable consequences of a
single generous gift. Most important of all, it is the novel you'll
want for your summer vacation." -The Washington Post
"Guy Gavriel Kay is peerless in plucking elements from history and
using them to weave a wholly fantastical tale that feels like a
translation of some freshly unearthed scroll from a time we have
yet to discover."-The Miami Herald
"A magnificent epic, flawlessly crafted, that draws the reader in
like a whirlwind and doesn't let go."-The Huffington Post
"Completely transporting...combines the best of historical and
fantasy novels to create a great read where you don't know what
could happen next."-Laura Miller, Salon Book Reviewer
"Guy Gavriel Kay, hunting in the twilight zone between fact and
dream, has written a shimmering novel, a fantasia on T'ang China,
the epitome of Chinese civilization...a beautiful, compulsive
read."-Locus
