KADISH MORRIS, THE OBSERVER (UK)
"Palmares is busy with visitors; a painter, a lexicographer, a journalist, witches, medicine women, free men, disfigured women. At times, the conveyor belt of new characters is disorienting, while the dialogue can be repetitive ... But it's a small price to pay for a book that's full of imagination and visionary thinking. After a two-decade absence, Jones is back with a formidable novel steeped in history, magical realism, trauma and triumph."
"An epic adventure of enchantment, enslavement, and the pursuit of knowledge in 17th-century Brazil ... As with the most ambitious and haunting of magical realist sagas, Jones' novel recounts detail after detail with such fluidity that the reader is aware of time's passage without knowing how many years have gone by ... There is also sheer wonder, insightful compassion, and droll wit to be found among the book's riches. Jones seems to have come through a life as tumultuous as her heroine's with her storytelling gifts not only intact, but enhanced and enriching. It is marvelous, in every sense, to have a new Gayl Jones novel to talk about."
