What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Grab[s] you from the first sentence….[and] stays with you long after you put it down….It is hard to think of a writer who reminds us more forcefully and wonderfully of what people and families are all about.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Earthy, mischievous, yet gorgeous… . [Bragg’s] tales … would not be out of place if they were told around a campfire.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“As toothsome as a catfish supper. [Bragg] is every bit the equal of … Harper Lee and Truman Capote.” —People
“[Bragg has] a true gift for great storytelling (the kind…that makes you think it’s just a plain old story, until he gets to the end and you’re either weeping or covered with goosebumps).” —New Orleans Times-Picayune
