| Industry reviews | |
| "[This] story of a Midwestern dynasty...is worth picking up again." Washington Post Book World - Jennifer Howard (02/21/1999) "[A] novel that memorably recreates the mixture of giddiness, fear, and excitement with which midwestern townsfolk watch the approach of a sputtering, grimy prosperity." New York Review of Books - Brad Leithauser (12/19/2002) |
