A powerful and moving novel. -- Jonathan Gibbs * Independent *
Quiet Dell has all the elements of a murder mystery, but its emotional scope is larger and more complex. It combines a strange hypnotic and poetic power with the sharp tones of documentary evidence. It offers a portrait of rural America in a time of crisis and dramatises the lives of a number of characters who are fascinating and memorable. -- Colm Tóibín
An extraordinary book – the best she has written. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer *
