The Marrowbone Marble Company by M Glenn Taylor
A powerful novel of love and war, righteousness and redemption, and the triumph of the human spirit.““Taylor really is in that long American tradition that starts with Mark Twain and finds its character, meaning and moral force in the extraordinariness of ordinary people” TIME OUT
“a mesmerizing storyteller…Taylor has created a remarkably complex, soulful, and provocative historical novel righteous in its perspective on America’s struggle to live up to its core beliefs.” BOOKLIST
“He writes with the elemental force of a latterday John Steinbeck." CANBERRA TIMES
“This novel confirms the view that he is a major and original talent.” SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
“Splendidly Norman Rockwell-ish…It’s like watching an idealistic old movie made in pre-McCarthy Hollywood.” THE TIMES
“Marrowbone throbs with muscular Hemingway sentences, consciously biblical cadences, a plethora of imagery where almost every mundane event holds a major and marvellous message.” WEEKEND HERALD
