Praise
“A whimsical portrait of 1940s-era small-town life, crowded with everything from owl-calling contests to raucous, five-day Ukrainian weddings. It’s a delightful comic ramble, written in quirky, digressive style. . . . Richly textured.”—Los Angeles Times
“Wonderful . . . Charming and funny . . . If you’ve never been to a box social, go to this one.”—Fannie Flagg, The New York Times Book Review
“A sweeping comic work . . . Welcome to the seductively poetic fictional world of W.P. Kinsella.”—People
“A story filled with nostalgia about a time when the game was played on real grass and was called on account of darkness. . . . A down-home style that resembles the humorous voice of Garrison Keillor.”—The New York Times
