Publisher Synopsis
Astonishing ... Reviewers will be quick to proclaim that Richard Ford has written a great American novel, another masterpiece, and he most emphatically has. Canada is his finest work to date ... A powerfully human and profound novel that makes one sigh, shudder and weep. Here is greatness. No doubt about it -- Eileen Battersby * Irish Times * Luminous and utterly forlorn ... Canada is a superlatively good book, richly imagined and beautifully fashioned ... one is tempted to acclaim it a masterpiece ... [it] could only have been written by a writer of Richard Ford's empathy, insight and technical mastery -- John Banville * Guardian * Ford is possessed of a writer's greatest gifts ... Pure vocal grace, quiet humor, precise and calm observation ... Ford's language is of the cracked, open spaces and their corresponding places within -- Lorrie Moore * New Yorker * His most elegiac and profound book yet ... Marilynne Robinson (without the theology) and Cormac McCarthy (without the gore) * Washington Post * A real king returns ... a story, and a vision, as sweeping as its landscapes -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent * Read more...
