Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Expertly wrought…Ms. Haigh, a subtle, serious novelist who happens to have a flair for capturing troubled family dynamics, never allows Faith to become predictable…Gripping…Substantial.”   New York Times
“Both riveting and profound…An incredibly suspenseful novel.”  Washington Post
“Although this all-too-plausible story offers a damning commentary on the Church’s flaws…At its broadest, this is a frank and timely story of familial and institutional heredity; at its most personal, the novel is a devastating portrait of a priest who discovers that he’s also a man.”  Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Plummer excels at narration that is emotional without being mawkish. While raising the question of whether or not Sheila’s brother is guilty, the novel also raises issues of faith in God and in one another. Plummer’s strong narration lends further weight to Haigh’s story.”  AudioFile
“Haigh deals with complex moral issues in subtle ways, and her narrative is beautifully, sometimes achingly poignant.”   Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
