ОглавлениеAdvance Praise for Local Customs:
“Thomas is at the top of her game with this elegantly written, deeply felt gem of a novel.”
— Ann Ireland, author of
The Blue Guitar and The Instructor
“Once again Audrey Thomas proves that a writer can deliver great narrative even while she is finding new ways to compose a book. I just sat and read her new novel while the world somehow went on without me.”
— George Bowering
Praise for Audrey Thomas’s Writing:
“Thomas has a faultless ear for dialogue, for how people sound.… And she has a camera eye for physical detail.”
— Margaret Atwood
“Audrey Callahan Thomas’s specialty is not a region but a gender. She is intensely, assertively feminine … Mrs. Thomas’s perceptions … are brilliant.”
— New York Times Book Review
“The author’s writing is stylistically brilliant.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Audrey Thomas is not a romantic, nor is she a narrow satirist of false sophistication. She is a realist and a terrible comedian who exposes her characters in a light like ‘the intense glare of the sun against the white walls of the houses.’”
— Globe and Mail
