Advance Praise
Keija Parssinen, author of The Ruins Of Us, writes:
"Limestone Wall is a slim novel that nonetheless contains worlds upon worlds--in its wonderfully knobby, authentic characters, and in its elegant meditations on childhood, marriage, death, and the passage of time. Each page is a gift of beauty and truth. Fans of Marilynne Robinson and Paul Harding will find much to admire in Marlene Lee's books."
What they said about The Absent Woman:
"I couldn't put
down The Absent Woman. I relished every scene, every word. It's one of the most
compelling novels that I've read...”
Ella
Leffland (author of Rumors of Peace and The Knight, Death, and the
Devil.)
"Lee
writes quite beautifully, with grace and wit and precision... The
book will stay with me for a long time."
Alex
George (author of A Good American)
"... a sometimes exhilarating, sometimes excruciating, and always
compelling journey of self-examination. In lucid prose, Lee tells a marvelous
story with echoes of Kate Chopin's THE AWAKENING."
