RON CHARLES, THE WASHINGTON POST

"Confirms the abiding strength of McBride's vernacular narrative. With his eccentric, larger-than-life characters and outrageous scenes of spliced tragedy and comedy, "Dickensian" is not too grand a description for his novels, but the term is ultimately too condescending and too Anglican. The melodrama that McBride spins is wholly his own ... If there's a ramshackle quality to McBride's plotting, it's the artful precariousness of a genius. His expansive collection of ominous, preposterous and saintly characters twirls like loose sticks in a river, guided by a physics of chaos beyond all calculation except awe ... We all need — we all deserve — this vibrant, love-affirming novel that bounds over any difference that claims to separate us."
