Praise

“Inspires the kind of wonder and elation one feels in the hands of a gifted writer. . . . [It] turns a light on the kind of lives that so often go unremarked, suffusing them with compassion, empathy and rare beauty.”
The Washington Post

“Yarbrough allows the opening and closing of chasms between [his characters] the proper space and time to develop, thus allowing them the chance to achieve maximum resonance.”
The Boston Globe

“An exhilarating, intelligent, beautifully complicated novel. I love how richly peopled it is. . . . Every character has a secret sorrow.”
—Margot Livesey

“Boldly provocative, reflective, witty and wise, and deeply insightful. . . . Steve Yarbrough stands among the first rank of contemporary novelists, and stands alone with the deep compassion and humanity he brings to his characters and their stories. . . . [The Realm of Last Chances] is that rare achievement, a page-turner that also turns pages within the reader.”
—Jeffrey Lent

“Yarbrough stakes his claim to being much more than a regional writer. The Realm of Last Chances is a fine novel unbound by geography. . . . And he shows us that the real territory of his fiction . . . is not geographical at all, but the unmapped terrain of the heart.”
The Jackson Clarion-Ledger

“A deeply intelligent and wildly moving story about the many permutations of love, betrayal and redemption.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Magnificent. . . . This beautifully written story is the most honest, insightful and, ultimately, affirmative novel about love under great stress that I’ve read in years.”
—Howard Frank Mosher

“Yarbrough spins his words into a web of subtle poignancy. After finishing, you’ll want to read [his] entire backlist (and you should).”
—BookRiot
