Media Reviews
Praise for Fortune's Daughter

An elegant and evocative novel that conjures up a kind of modern-day female mythology. --Chicago Tribune

By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming...[an] intimate, lovely novel, most of whose concerns swirl about the pain and joys of motherhood. --People

It is in its juxtaposition of the mythic, the apocalyptic, with the resolutely ordinary...that this novel finds its unique voice...Beautifully and matter-of-factly told. --The New York Times Book Review

One of the best novels to come out of the United States in a decade. --Annie Dillard
