Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

Brilliant and satisfying . . . As good as anything I've read in years . . . Hope in the midst of tragedy is a fragile thing, and Cunningham carries it with masterful care. Gayle Kidder, San Diego Union
Exquisitely written . . . Lyrical . . . An important book. Charleston Sunday News and Courier
Cunningham writes with power and delicacy . . . We come to feel that we know Jonathan, Bobby, and Clare as if we lived with them; yet each one retains the mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art. Richard Eder, The Los Angeles Times
Luminous with the wonders and anxieties that make childhood mysterious . . . A Home at the End of the World is a remarkable accomplishment. Laura Frost, San Francisco Review
Once in a great while, there appears a novel so spellbinding in its beauty and sensitivity that the reader devours it nearly whole, in great greedy gulps, and feels stretched sore afterwards, having been expanded and filled. Such a book is [this one]. Sherry Rosenthal, San Diego Tribune
Novels don't come more deeply felt than Cunningham's extraordinary four-character study . . . The writing [is] a constant pleasure, flowing and yet dense with incisive images and psychological nuance. Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe
The story of Jonathan, Clare, Bobby, and Alice is also the story of the 70's and 80's in America--and vice versa. It is destined to last. David Leavitt, author of The Marble Quilt
Cunningham has written a novel that all but reads itself. The Washington Post Book World
“Lyrical . . . Memorable and accomplished. The New York Times Book Review
