"As skilled in execution as it is fascinating in premise."
--Library Journal (starred review) on The Just City "Walton shines,
as she always does, in the small and hurtful and glorious business
of interpersonal relationships...this book about philosophy,
history, gender and freedom also manages to be a spectacular
coming-of-age tale that encompasses everything from courtroom
dramas to sexual intrigue." --Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing on The
Just City
"Brilliant, compelling, and frankly unputdownable." --NPR on The
Just City
"A remarkable novel of ideas...Superb. In the end, the novel does
more than justice to the idea of the Just City." --Booklist
(starred review) on The Just City "Rendered with Walton's usual
power and beauty...It's this haunting character complexity that
ultimately holds the reader captive to the tale." --N. K. Jemisin,
New York Times, on My Real Children "Has as much in common with an
Alice Munro story as it does with, say, Philip K. Dick's The Man in
the High Castle." --Lev Grossman, Publishers Weekly, on My Real
Children
