from the NPRbooks review of RED WATERS RISING:
“Gilman is magic in that junction point between the real and the imaginary, and she’s remarkable in allowing her world to grow solely out of the observations of her main character. Isobel is not just the reader surrogate, but a rounded, living, breathing, aching, regretting, exhausted, terrified, joyous and (so, so often) terribly confused vessel through which we experience Gilman’s deep and interconnected world.”
I would blush, but I’m too busy preening. *g*
The rest of the review is thoughtful, if a bit spoilery, and I can answer one of their questions/complaints – yes, there is more Story coming. :-)
