Serena Tie-In - Tapa blanda

"Beautifully written, utterly unforgettable. To my mind, this novel, as powerful and inexorable as a thunderstorm, is as good a piece of fiction as was published last year and a new classic in the category of love gone terribly wrong."--Anna Quindlen

"Beautifully written..."--Seattle Times

"The opening is unforgettable...the last hundred pages are thrilling...should be a breakthrough for this masterful storyteller."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"An Appalachian retelling of Macbeth, a thriller, a word-perfect evocation of an era and a people, a grim chapter in the history of conservation: if Serena doesn't finally win Ron Rash the overdue attention of the national literary (and cinematic) establishments, I can't imagine what they're holding out for."--Arthur Phillips, author of Prague

"This is a must-read novel."--About.com (Contemporary Literature)

"Rash is a storyteller of the highest rank and SERENA confirms this from the opening sentence to the final page. An epic achievement."--Jeffrey Lent, bestselling author of IN THE FALL

"Ron Rash's new novel Serena catapults him to the front ranks of the best American novelists. This novel will make a wonderful movie, and the brave actress who plays Serena is a shoe-in for an Academy Award nomination."--Pat Conroy

"With bone-chilling aplomb, linguistic grace and the piercing fatalism of an Appalachian ballad, Mr. Rash lets the Pembertons' new union generate ripple after ripple of astonishment."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"A harrowing tour de force that might be the most timely and dangerous novel released this fall... Rash has gone beyond any Southern gothic tale to weave a complex and riveting portrait in the tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez...brilliantly conceived."--Huffington Post

"Too hypnotic to break away from...And the final chapter is as flawless and captivating as anything I've read this year, a perfectly creepy shock that will leave you hearing nothing but the wind between the stumps."--Washington Post Book World
