"A remarkable novel...Walker has pulled off an amazing feat here: she's written a powerful novel about brutal misogyny, and she's made it both horrifying and readable, angry and warmhearted, political and human...Many other voices alternate with Tashi's, including that of her best friend, her husband and his lover; their perspectives provide a constant flow of fresh insights. There is no dogma in this narrative, and little typecasting. Instead, we have a true rarity: a novel that's strenghtened, not strangled, but it's political mission." - Newsweek

"Extraordinarily courageous and chilling...Walker's remarkable compassion rings on every page, along with the most tenter wit and evocative verbal music. A true confrontation with the heart of darkness, this is masterful, honorable, and unforgettable storytelling." - Cosmopolitan

"As compelling...as The Color Purple..." - San Francisco Chronicle

"This is not a sequel to Walker's previous novels, but it easily equals, if not surpasses, their excellence." - Library Journal

"REMARKABLE...SUPERB FICTION." - New Yord Daily News

"ALICE WALKER IS A LAVISHLY GIFTED WRITER..." - The New York Times Book Review

"ALICE WALKER IS ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN WRITERS" - Washington Post
