Arusha (Katherine V. Forrest Selection)
"A quietly affective, gracefully written and heart-wrenching novel, written in an assured, convincing and sympathetic narrative voice."--Kim Moritsugu, author of The Restoration of Emily and The Glenwood Treasure"The interlude...which takes place in Africa is a particularly strong emotional echo...as stripped bare and raw, but as rife with beauty and possibility, as Edith's life....a sharply drawn story that is not often told." --Lambda Literary"In a sure, quiet voice the author gives an insightful look into her characters' lives in this family saga reminiscent of the early novels of Michael Cunningham."  --Jeffrey Round, author of The Honey Locust and A Cage of Bones"This novel of a nuclear family gone nuclear...explores the damage done by the panicked, blatant homophobia that runs like a lit fuse through America." --Lee Lynch, author of Beggar of Love and The Amazon Trail"All the viewpoints are handled sensitively and clearly...The author knows her territory...The murder-mystery subplot is suspenseful and resolved in a way that is both intellectually satisfying and emotionally convincing" --KissedByVenus.ca
