Reviews
"An American beauty this book…. The narrator of Jane Hamilton's sensational first novel is a holy lusty innocent." Vogue "A sly and wistful, if harrowing, human comedy. Hamilton is a new and original voice in fiction and one well worth listening to." Boston Sunday Globe "Ms. Hamilton gives Ruth a humble dignity and allows her hopebut it's not a heavenly hope. It's a common one, caked with mud and held with gritted teeth. And it's probably the only kind that's worth reading about." The New York Times Book Review "Hamilton's story builds to a shocking crescendo. Her small-town characters are a appealingly offbeat and brushed with grace as any found in Alice Hoffman's or Anne Tyler's novels." Glamour "Jane Hamilton's novel is authentically Dickensian…. The real achievement of this first novel is not so much the blackness as the suggestion of resilience. At the end, Ruth begins to put together her shattered body, spirit and life. Her words are awkward, as they have been all along, but suddenly and unexpectedly they shine." Los Angeles Times "A disturbing and beautiful book." Hilma Wolitzer "An extraordinary story of a family's disintegration…. Will be compared to Jane Smiley'sA Thousand Acres. Astonishingly vivid and moving." People "An enthralling tale of guilt, betrayal, and the terrifying ways of our lives." Entertainment Weekly "Unforgettably, beat by beat, Hamilton maps the best and worst of the human heart and all the mysterious, uncharted country in between." Kirkus Reviews, "An American beauty this book…. The narrator of Jane Hamilton's sensational first novel is a holy lusty innocent." Vogue "A sly and wistful, if harrowing, human comedy.

The view finder was listed as working. When I received it, even though it was packaged very well, the pull down handle when released rests too far over to where the picture is stereoscopically distorted. The seller did not have another one to swap with. After a serious thought, I was able to correct the pathway of the handle somewhat. The eBay process for a full refund wasn’t worth pole-vaulting through. The seller refunded $7.00. In this case, I would have refunded fully on the spot.

New product in excellent condition. Product arrived quickly. Product arrived with small missing piece. Notified seller. Seller responded immediately. Small part was accidentally omitted from box in shipping. Seller apologized and immediately sent missing piece. VERY good honest seller. Great communication. Now one of my saved sellers. Will definitely purchase from this seller in the future. Well satisfied! Excellent . A +++++.
