Reviews / Votes
Superb... A brilliant, beautiful novel * Sunday Times * In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year... A compulsively readable story * Stephen King * Absorbing and captivating. -- Mark Lawson * Guardian * A powerful and moving novel. -- Jonathan Gibbs * Independent * Quiet Dell has all the elements of a murder mystery, but its emotional scope is larger and more complex. It combines a strange hypnotic and poetic power with the sharp tones of documentary evidence. It offers a portrait of rural America in a time of crisis and dramatises the lives of a number of characters who are fascinating and memorable. -- Colm Toibin An extraordinary book - the best she has written. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * Morbidly compelling. Stephen King hasn't described it as his book of the year for nothing. -- Sam Baker * Harper's Bazaar * A powerful real-life tale revisited... Fascinating evidence of the way in which memory and story linger. -- Eileen Battersby * Irish Times * Entertains and asks profound questions about evil, women's role in society, and the American Dream. -- Patrick Neale * Bookseller * Never less than engaging. -- Hephzibah Anderson * Prospect *More details
