Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Lawson’s performance is earnest and touching. She provides the necessary humanity in Dominique’s deep commitment to her art, to the men who love her, and to a two-year-old with an old soul.” —AudioFile
“The Green Hour effortlessly weaves the smart and the emotional. I felt moved and involved—and above all envious. I loved this novel and could not put it down.” —Steve Martin, author of Shop Girl
“An engaging love story, quirky, cosmopolitan, full of upliftings and downturnings, hopes aroused and hopes defeated, challenges met and challenges not met, adult, skeptical, adventurous—all the nuances of attachment that Frederic Tuten renders so well.”  —Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove
“Frederic Tuten is a valiant, gifted writer whose work honors literature.” —Susan Sontag
“[Tuten] has consistently produced an oeuvre which is courageous, adventurous, intelligent, and highly original and has moments of haunting lyrical power.” —American Academy of Arts and Letters
