WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Luisa Domic is a labor of the heart and the spirit, and will call forth heart and spirit in anyone willing to suspend fashionable despair. — Lynne Sharon Schwartz

I was immensely moved by Luisa Domic, quite beautiful and quite terrifying, and with the most perfect tact and artistic control. — Oliver Sacks

Shawno is about love, possession, country people, rivers, roads, dogs, and the dog Shawno. When you finish you think you've read a long novel. It is a beautiful book -- easy going and exciting. — Grace Paley
