Reviews

"Deeply felt, warm, and funny . . . a wonderful tale, one full of wild humor and humanity."
The Los Angeles Times
"The resonantly lyrical novel enchants us . . . we are lifted to a height of exhilaration few current writers can take us to."
New York Newsday
"Brighten washes you with language. Reading it is like leaping into one of those streams in the middle of nowhere where everything is green and our childhoods wait to reclaim something lost, something astoundingly simple as joy."
Charlotte Observer
