Great House (Center Point Platinum Fiction)

Starred Review: Krauss masterful rendition of character is breathtaking, compelling.... This tour de force of fiction writing will deeply satisfy fans of the author s first two books and bring her legions more.

A complex, richly imagined new novel Krauss 's talent runs deep. And she cannot write a bad sentence: pound for pound, the sentences alone deliver epiphany upon epiphany. --Janet Byrne

Starred Review. This stunning work showcases Krauss's consistent talent.... Much like in Krauss's The History of Love, the sharply etched characters seem at first arbitrarily linked across time and space, but Krauss pulls together the disparate elements, settings, characters, and fragile connective tissue to form a formidable and haunting mosaic of loss and profound sorrow. "

Krauss organic scenes soar, she is stunning. --Karen R. Long"
