"Vividly evoked ...A welcome addition, then, to a uniquely enthralling and important American story." - Kirkus Reviews

"Great originality and charm." - Entertainment Weekly

"FOUR SOULS juxtaposes ... the ribald and the elegiac." - Atlantic Monthly

"Stunning flights of lyricism." - San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
