Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Yarbrough writes with quiet compassion…[about] what it means to be American, and all the unexpected—and often unwarranted—sacrifices that identity might comprise.” —New York Times Review of Books
“Yarbrough's warm, measured voice, clean prose and rich character studies make this an unusually tender and accomplished study of the reverberations of war on the home front.” —Publishers Weekly
“The highest kind of art, full of subtlety and sensitivity.” —Dallas Morning News
“Vivid and dramatic…Prisoners of War is smart and entertaining.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“In this powerful, understated novel, [Yarbrough] finds a way to describe how fleeting moments between people slowly accrue and gather the heaviness of fate.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Yarbrough has created a timely war novel that is refreshingly unpredictable yet as comfortable as an old boot.” —Oregonian
“The story's tension flows from many directions. And it never lets up.” —Booklist
“Yarbrough is a thoughtful writer who gently leads rather than directly informing his audience about the motivations of his characters. Bradbury does an outstanding job of providing appropriate accents to a wide range of characters. His Polish prisoner of war has an accent as believable as that of the Southern good old boys.” —AudioFile
