Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Riggs’s sympathy for his characters is evident, and he conveys a strong visceral sense of their ramshackle physical surroundings and the tense national political climate.” —Publishers Weekly
“Riggs has a formidable command of the language, and he effortlessly incorporates stunning moments of magic realism, turning his harsh story into something quite beautiful.” —Booklist
“When the Finch Rises is compelling and moving—a stunning debut.” —Jill McCorkle
“When the Finch Rises is a bold novel, so rugged with truth that it seems hacked from stone. Here are pages that throb with the power of hard life. Riveting.” —Fred Chappell
