"Carry Me Across the Water reconfirms Canin's stature as one of the best fiction writers of his generation." --The Miami Herald
"A daring and heartbreaking success."--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"It's [a] testament to Canin's mastery that he's able to encompass the largest possible themes--life and death, war and peace, mortality and transcendence--with such elliptical precision. . . . The novel represents such a powerfully transformative experience--for protagonist and reader alike."--Chicago Sun-Times
"A hypnotic, intricately structured, elegiac novel." --L.A. Weekly
