Reviews
"Jackie Parker writes with tender sympathy for human frailty and rapturous appreciation of the mysteries of spiritual life. Our Lady of Infidelity is an enchanting and magical novel about the many different ways in which love can take us by surprise."--Brian Morton, author of A Window Across the River and Breakable You "Pitch-perfect . . . Told with haunting eloquence and subtle humor, this is a powerful and gripping American story about second chances, the bonds between people, and the search for a sense of home. The voices of the characters ring true and so does the story. Our Lady of Infidelity is an unforgettable, life-affirming novel."--Ann Weisgarber, author of The Promise , shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction " Our Lady of Infidelity is one of those novels that I just did not want to end. I love this book! Jackie Parker is an amazing writer. The story and characters are deeply engaging. I was truly touched on so many levels by this book."--Sandra Ingerman, author of Medicine for the Earth and Soul Retrieval "Compelling and luminous, a novel as full of love as the vision it portrays. This is a book that readers will turn to again and again for the wonderful story and for the sense of hope it brings to the enterprise we call life." --Rosa Lowinger, author of Tropicana Nights "What a wonderful tale! This soft-spoken, lyrical, and loving work dives deep into the world of mystical vision and emerges as a visionary work in itself. It feels like a blessing to swim in these waters." --Bruce Joel Rubin, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Ghost , Jacob's Ladder , and Deep Impact "It's a rare novel that offers both entertainment and illumination. Jackie Parker delivers a compelling yarn while shedding light on the mysteries and ambiguities, beauties, and absurdities that often surround spiritual experience, whether real or imagined."--Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda: From Emerson and The Beatles to Yoga and Meditation, How Indian Spirituality Changed the West "Jackie Parker writes generously, ecstatically, and from a surfeit--of ideas, characters, and stories. What results is a world that is both grounded and magical, born from the imagination of a distinctively American Allende." --Brooks Hansen, author of John the Baptizer "Parker's first adult novel is a good mixture of Kingsolver and Allende with a healthy dose of . . . magic realism."-- Booklist, "Compelling and luminous, a novel as full of love as the vision it portrays.
