Foe Reviews

"A small miracle of a book...of marvelous intricacy and overwhelming power." --The Washington Post Book World

"Foe is a finely honed testament to its author's intelligence, imagination, and skill.... The writing is lucid and precise, the landscape depicted mythic yet specific." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
