Los Angeles Times Book Review
"We know what to expect from a 'fresh, new Southern voice,' as Sheri Reynolds has been called, and she delivers. A strong maternal figure....A powerful, puffing male....A colorful supporting cast....An old secret that colors history....And sin....Reynolds has accomplished something unique in 'The Rapture of Canaan', however....[She] has written a fresh story." - Sandra Scofield 02/11/1996San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"In her latest book, Reynolds' eloquence continues as she tells how a young girl, raised in a family of misery-loving fanatics, comes to find her own sense of freedom...The novel does not condescend to or forget the dignity of cult members as they strive to find the way of truth...Reynolds' voice, full of irony, is clear and distinct." - Susan Petro 02/04/1996 New York Times Book Review
"...Ms. Reynolds' poetic gifts are uncommonly powerful....she tells a truly rapturous love story and presents two unforgettable characters..." - Zofia Smardz 03/31/1996 |
