Affecting...combines often rough action with quietly subtle emotions to create a fresh and memorable tale of a troubled man's return from war. Recommended for most public libraries
— Lawrence Rungren; Library Journal
Unusual story...[Lee's] writing is frequently lovely, sometimes hauntingly so.
— Joanne Wilkinson; Booklist, (American Library Association)
A lyrically evocative, haunting first novel....The writing here is deft and moving, offering vivid description of both the Montana setting and the remembered Korean landscape....The novel proves eerily suspenseful, ending on a redemptive note. A gracefully rendered, beautifully characterized tale about an unusual life. Jae-Suk Lee is a writer watch.
— Kirkus, (Starred)
A seamless narrative...beautifully crafted...remarkable...transcends Asian-American themes, the Korean War, or first novel anxieties.
— Bill Drucker; Korean Quarterly
