"A consistently gripping tale featuring solid historical research and a keen understanding of religious experience. Another major effort by a world class talent. Highly recommended." —Booklist

"Captures the essence of a world where folk magic abounds. A tribute to the art of storytelling, this is highly recommended." —Library Journal
