Recenzii
"Deceptively quiet, this portrait of a couple in love with each other, their work, and their adopted country explores the deepest questions of faith while richly illuminating a lost time and place."--Andrea Barrett, author of "The Air We Breathe"
""City of Tranquil Light "is just my kind of book. It is full of light, even at its darkest moments. I relished the hours spent with this dedicated and intrepid couple and will not soon forget them. Bo Caldwell has honored her missionary grandparents with her storytelling skills."--Gail Godwin, author of "Unfinished Desires "and "Evensong"
"What ardent, dazzling souls emerge from these American missionaries in China. Two great lovers hand their story back and forth, the husband writing from widowed old age, the wife speaking from the immediacy of a diary she kept during their decades in pre-Revolutionary China.... A beautiful, searing book that leaves an indelible presence in the mind."--Patricia Hampl, author of "The Florist's Daughter"
"A handful of books each year convince me of their firm grip on what, for want of a better word, I would call truth. Bo Caldwell has seized on this material, based on the experience of her grandparents, and somehow conjured a miraculous story, one full of passion, historical interest, and spiritual questing. The North China Plain is vividly evoked, and the main characters, Will and Katherine, will not easily be forgotten. "City of Tranquil Light" is a poem in prose form, and it will lift any reader's spirit as it lifted mine."--Jay Parini, author of "The Last Station"
""City of Tranquil Light" is a remarkable evocation of another time and place as well as a deeply moving love story, but, most of all, Bo Caldwell's book is a profound meditation on the mysteries of belief. This novel is one that will linger in the reader's mind long after the last page is turned."--Ron Rash, author of "Serena""It is inspired, a beautifully written, often riveting, heatbreaking, heart-healing, wise
