By the end, a small world has been utterly transformed."--Variety "These characters are fully imagined--they live... reeling out stories about their past, their angers, their dreams."--Washington Post "Wilson's most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate nature of history... glorious storytelling... touching and often funny... a penetrating revelation of a world hidden from view."--Frank Rich, The New York Times
