Critical Acclaim
For Richard Snodgrass’ Novels
ACROSS THE RIVER
The writing is beautiful. The complex characters, faced daily with choices between their deepest desires and their integrity, in the midst of war, make compelling reading. This book stands alone, while stoking the desire for rest of the books in the series.
ACROSS THE RIVER
A vivid and intensely personal story couched within the chaos, madness and sacrifice of the Civil War.
ACROSS THE RIVER
A beautiful historical novel that proves history is created and changed by individuals, not just events.
ALL FALL DOWN
An immersive murder mystery wrapped in an emotionally astute look at the burden of a town’s moral history.
ALL FALL DOWN
Snodgrass’ writing is unpretentious but poetically evocative, an ambitious attempt to combine a realistic portrayal of a gritty working-class town with literary style.
SOME RISE
...An artistically daring examination of the line that separates love from fanatical possession.
SOME RISE
Richard Snodgrass’ gift for characterization, plotting, and dialogue make Some Rise one of the most engaging family sagas/literary mysteries we’ve read in years.
THE BUILDING
...artistically unflinching and morally unsentimental.
THE BUILDING
The pace is unhurried but inexorable, a relentless march toward a shocking conclusion.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE BACK YARD
Observe this mysterious book and be changed.
