Book Review of A Feather on the Breath of God

A Feather on the Breath of God
reviewed on + 82 more book reviews


This strange, lucid story of the unwished-for child of unassimilated immigrants takes us well beyond the particulars of "mixed ethnicity"--beyond even the experience of America--into deep paradoxes of identity and love. Both old-fashioned and subversive, stringent and redemptive, it's a pleasure from the first page to the last.
