Reviews
"Lyrical . . . Memorable and accomplished."- The New York Times Book Review "Novels don't come more deeply felt than Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study . . . The writing [is] a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance."- Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe "The story of Jonathan, Clare, Bobby, and Alice is also the story of the 70's and 80's in America-and vice versa. It is destined to last."- David Leavitt, author of The Marble Quilt "Cunningham has written a novel that all but reads itself."- The Washington Post Book World "Once in a great while, there appears a novel so spellbinding in its beauty and sensitivity that the reader devours it nearly whole, in great greedy gulps, and feels stretched sore afterwards, having been expanded and filled. Such a book is [this one]."- Sherry Rosenthal, San Diego Tribune "Luminous with the wonders and anxieties that make childhood mysterious . . . A Home at the End of the World is a remarkable accomplishment."- Laura Frost, San Francisco Review "Brilliant and satisfying . . . As good as anything I've read in years . . . Hope in the midst of tragedy is a fragile thing, and Cunningham carries it with masterful care."- Gayle Kidder, San Diego Union "Exquisitely written . . . Lyrical . . . An important book."- Charleston Sunday News and Courier "Cunningham writes with power and delicacy . . . We come to feel that we know Jonathan, Bobby, and Clare as if we lived with them; yet each one retains the mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art."- -Richard Eder , The Los Angeles Times, "Lyrical . . .
