Praise for Sister Noon

“Sister Noon is funny, lyrical, spooky, inspired. It teases, it cavorts, it takes left turns down dark alleys…one of the year’s best reads.” —Michael Upchurch, The Seattle Times

“In Sister Noon, Karen Joy Fowler re-creates a lost world so thrillingly, with such intelligence, trickery, and art, that when you at last put the book down and look up from the page it all seems to linger, shimmering, around you, like the residue of a marvelous dream. No contemporary writer creates characters more appealing, or examines them with great acuity and forgiveness than she does.” —Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

“...full of shimmering melancholy, and a ruminative irony which brings her characters...their world alive in the most unexpected ways.” —Jonathan Lethem

“A playful, mysterious, highly imaginative narrative set in the San Francisco of the 1890's...Robust, sly, witty, elegant, unexpected and never, ever, boring.”—Margot Livesey, The New York Times Book Review
