And the Dark Sacred Night: A Novel - Hardcover

"Winner of the National Book Award for her 2002 debut, Three Junes, Julia Glass takes another sympathetic look at the complexities of contemporary life in this novel about family secrets. . . Examining complicated family relationships among several families whose lives intertwine in unexpected ways, this warm and engaging story about what it means to be a father will appeal to most readers." --Library Journal

"Glass explores the pain of family secrets, the importance of identity, and the ultimate meaning of family . . . HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Although Glass borrows characters from her National Book Award-winning Three Junes, it is not necessary to have read that previous book to enjoy this lovely, highly readable, and thought-provoking novel." --Booklist, starred review

The Widower's Tale
"Beautifully sensitive . . . The Widower's Tale is about the rub between old values and new times . . . In the tradition of Jane Eyre, it builds to a conflagration, a crisis that shakes everyone out of their complacency. But Glass quickly smothers the flames of catastrophe, for her vision is essentially more hopeful than tragic." --Los Angeles Times

"A satisfyingly clear-eyed and compassionate view of American entitlement and its fallout . . . [Glass] approaches the ties of kinship with the same joyfully disruptive spirit that animated her previous books." --The New York Times Book Review

"A masterful exploration of the secret places of the human heart." --Richmond Times-Dispatch

I See You Everywhere
"Glass is the Edith Wharton for the twenty-first century." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Rich, intricate, and alive with emotion . . . An honest portrait of sister-love . . . Brave and forgiving." --The New York Times Book Review

The Whole World Over

"A voluptuous treat." --Entertainment Weekly

Three Junes
"Enormously accomplished . . . Rich, absorbing, and full of life."--The New Yorker

"Radiant . . . An intimate literary triptych of lives pulled together and torn apart." --Chicago Tribune

"Almost threatens to burst with all the life it contains. Glass's ability to illuminate and deepen the mysteries of her characters' lives is extraordinary." --Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
