Just as he describes people stopping in the street to look at Roseanne, so I often found myself stopping to look at the sentences he gave her, wanting to pause and copy them down.” PeopleLooksFoundStreetsSentencesProseCopiesPausesStopping Author:Margot Livesey
“In his scintillating new novel, Matt Bondurant explores a crucial period in the history of Virginia and of his family.
