Ernest J. Gaines
Like Guterson's novel, it begins with an unjust trial and becomes a quiet, deeply humane meditation on dignity, prejudice and what a community owes its most vulnerable members.
Walter van Tilburg Clark
A tense Western study of mob justice and suspicion of outsiders, for readers who appreciated how Snow Falling on Cedars examines the gap between law and genuine justice.

Jamie Ford
