The Lightning Keeper is a big, old-fashioned panoramic feast of a novel ... A marvelous story. * Philadelphia Inquirer * Breathtaking ... His knowledge is woven seamlessly into his story ... An ambitious, wonderful book ... It draws us in and allows us to live briefly, magically, marvelously in the world as it once was. * Chicago Tribune * A subtle and moving novel, an old-fashioned narrative that addresses modern questions of ethnicity and belonging. * LA Times * When The Lightning Keeper releases you from obsessively turning its pages, you'll know that you have read an unforgettable account of lives and experience unique to this country. This is a great novel. -- Harper Lee author of * To Kill A Mockingbird *
