Críticas

Operating, as always, on multiple levels with artistic panache, emotional precision, and profound intent, Millet transforms a violent family conflict into a war of cosmic proportions over nothing less than life itself.--Donna Seaman (04/26/2016)

[A] novel so eerie, so chilling and provocative, that you might find yourself rethinking everything you thought you knew about language, belief, and where our human race might be going.--Caroline Leavitt

[O]nce it gets its hooks into you, it doesn't let go.--John Warner

[W]e have a real thriller on our hands...part of a higher-stakes game being played by Millet, one that will ultimately, unabashedly touch on time, beauty, horror, God, demons and the very nature of being. By novel's end...the stakes have been raised through the roof.--Laird Hunt

[A]n extraordinary metaphysical thriller from one of America's most inventive novelists.--Laura Miller"Where Is the Voice Coming From?" (05/05/2016)

A rare pleasure to read... Millet's fine prose [is] as rich with fresh imagery as it is open-minded to life's hidden possibilities.--Matthew Gilbert (05/03/2016)

Millet's prose is stunning...you'll have a hard time putting this down.--Isabella Biedenharn

Millet's sense of pacing is acute and her prose is glittering and exact.

We didn't know we needed a metaphysical thriller, but here Millet is with a fine one... A feat of genre-breaking.--Mark Athitakis

Millet evinces a rare capacity to surprise and fascinate readers... Unpredictable in the best sense, Millet's eye-opening stories and conceptions are irresistibly interesting. This may be her most beguiling and accessible creation yet.--David Wright

Reseña del editor

Lydia Millet’s chilling new novel is the first-person account of a young mother, Anna, escaping her cold and unfaithful husband, a businessman who’s just launched his first campaign for political office. When Ned chases Anna and their six-year-old daughter from Alaska to Maine, the two go into hiding in a run-down motel on the coast. But the longer they stay, the less the guests in the dingy motel look like typical tourists—and the less Ned resembles a typical candidate. As his pursuit of Anna and their child moves from threatening to criminal, Ned begins to alter his wife’s world in ways she never could have imagined.Sweet Lamb of Heaven
