Critical Praise

Grace and Five Fortunes

—

"A Dream of Wolves is that rare treat, an intelligent potboiler. White is clearly in control of the many characters here, and he skillfully evokes the class tensions, racism and anti-Yankee sentiment of this region. "

——The New York Times Book Review

"Taken on its own terms, this novel contains a fascinating collection of Southern customs. Its use of dialect is spare and elegant... male readers will recognize and sympathize with the doctor's timeless dilemma. "

——The Washington Post

"In addition to being beautifully written and intriguingly suspensful, A Dream of Wolves, is a marvelous evocation of place and character, right down to the flinty-eyed stare of the backwoods folk of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. A raw and powerful achievement. "

——Anita Shreve, author

of The Pilot's Wife "A Dream of Wolves is the work of a master craftsman. It is original, complicated, compelling and utterly believable, and Michael C. White makes it looks easy. A wonderful read. "
