Praise For This Book:
"A stellar debut novel . . . A historical saga seen through the lens of two wives, one husband, and the disapproving, cantankerous rabble at the end of Victorian America."-Jamie Ford, author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet "Equal parts love story and courtroom drama, Johanna Moran's The Wives of Henry Oades is a compelling story of good people caught in impossible circumstances, and a community that rushes to judge rather than to understand."-Meg Waite Clayton, author of The Wednesday Sisters "A beguiling, promising debut."-Kirkus Reviews "Intriguing and evocative . . . [It's] the two women bonding that give this book its heart and should make this a book group winner."-Publishers Weekly "Johanna Moran's fine first novel is a fascinating story....Moran is a careful writer, a spare stylist who never wastes a word. She also has a well-tuned ear for the jargon of the period, colorful language that adds warmth, humor, and humanity to her story."-Boston Globe For More -Visit the Publisher's Website |
