Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Fully satisfying…A lovely story, lovingly told.” —Washington Post
“[A] smashing debut…[Singleton’s] created two unforgettable characters in a great cultural and period setting…Lyrical…This Side of the Sky doesn’t read like a first novel…a tight, multilayered text. She’s produced buff, funny, smart, well-paced writing with broad appeal…Both literary and enjoyable.” —Denver Post
“A sprawling, ambitious saga about two women, lifelong friends, who live through World War II and its aftermath…Singleton has an economical, restrained style that is particularly effective in moments of high drama and wartime action…An often warming and poignant story of a seldom-visited side of the war, one that is well worth knowing.” —Publishers Weekly
“Singleton takes her characters from Nadir to Philadelphia and into the US Army in a spiraling mix of love, heartbreak, and humor with a novel that is a compassionate and compelling work of fiction written from the heart.” —Booklist
