REVIEWS

"Palmer’s prose is astonishing in its range. At times, it reads like a systems theory textbook, at others like a raucous folk ballad. His characters are fully realized and often strange [...] The novel doesn’t resolve into redemption, but into reckoning: a man coming to grips with the ghosts that shaped him and deciding what kind of ancestor he wants to be. Fans of Duck’s Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann and The Overstory by Richard Powers will want to take a look.

A brilliant tale about the long arc of consequences and the strange, hopeful act of trying to understand the world through its ruins."
