Media Reviews
Stunning...a triumph...with honesty at its core that seems almost shocking in this day and age. A lovely story. -- Boston Globe Enthralling...A life-affirming novel, a worthy successor to Dickens. -- Philadelphia Inquirer He tells a story that is 2,000 years old and yet in so doing presents us with a book that is truly startling in its novelty...This is the best book Hijuelos has written. Which is saying something. -- Los Angeles Times Hijuelos shows us that miracles are something nearer than we believe. -- Denver Post
