Recenzii


“This beautifully complex novel, with its echoing lacunae, its delicate touches alongside brutishness, reads like a timeless work of human history. Ms. Falconer's gift for phrasing and putting the right words to fleeting emotions makes the intimacy of her drama all the more compelling.” —Barry Lopez

“A splendid and absorbing novel.” —Jim Harrison

The Lost Thoughts of Soldiers is evocative and melancholy, a poetic impression of Captain Benteen toward the end of his life . . . The book is original and vivid.” —Evan S. Connell
