Heath…has created an amazement of a novel which keeps singing in my heart with its feminist assertion and its feminine depths, its scientific muscle and its mythic invocations, its agony for the earth and its joy in life and love, its girlfriend intimations and its far flung vision, its wisdom that ‘dark matter…is the glue of the universe’ and its celebration of the ‘mysterious inter-relations of all things (which) people liked to call God.’"

…if your interests…include Jungian thought, David Austin roses, the problem with pornography, and a lovely romantic tale—oh and did I leave out Ethiopian culture? And parenting? I have rarely read an author with Heath’s breadth and facility with storytelling. Read it and become engrossed—and enlightened."

Fleur is a narrator we really do need right now. She is such a collection of Compromise, Complexity, Community, Communication, and Communion that she is the perfect spokesperson for the 21st century."
