“The kind of book a reader sinks into completely. . . . The characters are so compelling, the setting so detailed, so convincing, so absolutely complete. . . . The Living is an extraordinary accomplishment, one of those rare occasions when the written word results through the magic and talent of the author in the creation of the whole world.” — Boston Globe
“The Living is an impressive piece of fiction and a riveting hunk of history. . . . The many readers who have been drawn in the past to Dillard’s work for its elegant and muscular use of language won’t be disappointed in these pages. . . .

“Above all, a novel about the precious, wondrous, solitary, terrifying, utterly common condition of human life.” — Washington Post Book World
