“Politics and faith are prevalent throughout the novel, diversity, lots of symbolism … and all of the senses are used. I was particularly impressed with the relationship between the different people in Priscilla’s life, such as her support network, and how that reflects the larger scheme of things over the past thirty years and how all that reflects life today. Very descriptive, such as the scene at the reception at the governor’s mansion when Priscilla wears an outfit that is not typical of the other women. That shows her sense of self-worth and her humility.”
