The Brambles

“Consistently perceptive, even stunning. . . . [The Brambles] leaves you marveling . . . and looking forward to the author’s next move.” —The New York Times Book Review“Minot has the uncanny gift for rendering life in all of its messy glory.” —The Washington Post“Minot’s prose has the brilliant quality of sharpened detail you experience when you finally get eyeglasses, and that blurred green of the trees turns out to be composed of countless distinct leaves—when the ordinary turns out to be fully extraordinary.”
—Newsday“Pitch-perfect. . . . In remarkable prose, Minot manages what few writers can pull off: She combines a rich complex story with the voice and sensibility of a poet.” —St. Louis Post Dispatch
