A splendid flowering of the talent previously demonstrated in his crime fiction. . . . A vision of redemption and a triumph of the human spirit. In short, this nail-biter carries serious moral gravity., The problem falls to readers to find something--anything--that doesn't pale in comparison once they've closed the covers on this 720-page masterpiece.

It's Lehane's most ambitious and literary work., Superbly written, meticulously researched. . . .

The Given Day places [Lehane] in the first rank of modern American novelists., A historical epic that is easily the most ambitious work of Dennis Lehane's career. . . . THE GIVEN DAY aspires to be nothing less than the Great American Novel. . . .

Even beyond the historical events, THE GIVEN DAY qualifies as a sprawling, sweeping epic. . . . Lehane's masterful packing and precise prose make the story speed by." (Orlando Sentinel), Brilliantly constructed. . . . Like E. L. Doctorow in Ragtime, Lehane captures the sense of a country coming of age, vividly dramatizing how the conflicting emotions and tortured dreams that drive individual human lives also send a nation roiling forward., Steeped in history but wearing its research lightly, The Given Day is a meaty, rich, old-fashioned and satisfying tale.

EBay had given me an estimated date of arrival but sadly that was not met and this, a gift, was late. I am glad it arrived undamaged because its accepted arrival was June 4 with return window of June 5. I believe it arrived on June 3.
