Review:
Robust, sly, witty, elegant, unexpected New York Times Book Review Fowler's language dazzles San Francisco Chronicle In Sister Noon, Karen Joy Fowler recreates a lost world so thrillingly, with such intelligence, trickery and art, that when you at last put the book down and look up from the page it all seems to linger, shimmering, around you, like the residue of a marvellous dream -- Michael Chabon Fowler's prose is full of shimmering melancholy, and a ruminative irony that brings her characters and their world alive in the most unexpected ways - reading Sister Noon is like staring at early portrait photographs until the eyes begin to shine and your head is filled with voices that urge you to recall that these vanished lives, and your own, are stranger than you allow. A dazzling book. -- Jonathan Lethem Fowler has a voice like no other, lyrical, shrewd and addictive, with a quiet deadpan humour that underlies almost every sentence Newsday
