Praise for Peace Like a River
New York Times BestsellerA Time Magazine Top Five Book of the Year
A Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, and Denver Post Best Book of the Year
"Leif Enger . . . is a natural-born storyteller, and his novel moves in a current that can be poetic and slow or as tumultuous as whitewater rapids. This novel has the power to convince that, despite sorrow, human experience is a miracle of ordinary truth and extraordinary love." -
Atlanta Journal-Constitution"A rich mixture of adventure, tragedy, and healing ... a journey you simply must not miss." -Christian Science Monitor
"What allows Peace Like a River to transcend any limitations of belief and genre is its broad, sagacious humanity . . . There is magic here, none more potent than Enger's prose."-Newsday
"
Peace Like a River serves as a reminder of why we read fiction to begin with." --
San Francisco Chronicle
"If you like a ripping good story told in robust prose that gives you goose bumps, latch onto this book - more than a novel of miracles, it is truly a miraculous novel." --
The Seattle Times
"You don't see novels like this one very often.
Peace Like a River reminds a reader of Kent Haruf's
Plainsong or even Norman MacLean's
A River Runs Through It. It's got that pure American loss of innocence theme, that belief in and fascination with miracles, that insistence on the goodness of men outside of the law." --
Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A compelling blend of traditional and artfully offbeat storytelling . . . a miracle well worth witnessing . . . Grade: A."--
Boston Globe
"If ever there was a time for a novel of faith and redemption-a quiet book of old-fashioned verities-this is it. --
New York Post
