David Gates recommends
Two-Step Devil (2024)
Jamie Quatro
"The bold, ingenious, impassioned Two-Step Devil takes risks - tonally, formally and theologically - that would terrify a less masterly writer than Jamie Quatro. Her unforgettable characters, her meticulous observation of backwoods folklife and her wide-ranging intellect come together to create a novel that's a wild and rich entertainment, a profound interrogation of God's ways to Man, and--perhaps most daring of all - a story of simple human compassion."
The Underworld (2017)
Kevin Canty
"Any writer will admire and envy his deft management of a range of characters and storylines… Any reader will empathize with his sometimes flawed, sometimes valiant people, as they wrestle with the perplexities of social class, family, and love."
