The 1993 American Book Award-winning author of The Red Magician presents another spellbinding tale. In a faraway land called Amaz, a family whose ordinary appearance masks hidden conflicts discovers things that change them forever. "One of the great American novels of the 1980s".--Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
This is one of Goldstein's best. Not quite fantasy, not quite reality, but extremely intelligent, compelling fiction. I was deeply caught up in this rich world, and sorry when the book was over.I'd recommend anything by this author, with this and A Mask for the General being my personal favorites. Anyone who likes Neil Gaiman, Orson Scott Card, Neal Stephenson, Alice Hoffman or Marge Piercy should give this a try.
