<br> A novel of compassion and wit . . . Downing combines one man's tale of loss and acceptance, the lost rhythms of the Shaker world, and the delights of the English language. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)<br><br> Downing is better at writing about Shakers than Hawthorne or Melville . . . The feeling for the community and its members ring true. -- New York Times Book Review <br><br> Perfect Agreement is as artfully and solidly constructed as a Shaker table . . .
