Críticas:

Praise for Going to Bend

"Funny, heartbreaking, and wise."
--Fannie Flagg, author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe

"I loved this heartfelt story . . . Diane Hammond is a fabulous storyteller. Her portrait of small-town life is full of humor and detail, and her characters Petie and Rose have a relationship so original and real, you root for them from page 1."
--Adriana Trigiani, author of the Big Stone Gap trilogy and The Queen of the Big Time

"Hammond doesn't make splashy drama out of her characters' dilemmas or solve them by way of a sudden, inspirational uplift. Instead, she opens a window onto the vanishing world of small-town America, and lets the cold sea air blow in."
--San Francisco Chronicle

"Hammond shines an unwavering light on a group of people who struggle to make do, yet who live their lives and cope with hardship with grace and dignity. Her clean, sharp prose, idiosyncratic dialogue, and deep insight into relationships embellish this heartfelt debut."
--Publishers Weekly
