Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Ten years after his "dazzling" (San Francisco Chronicle), "unforgettable" (Newsday) bestselling debut novel, A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, Michael Dorris returns to the family at the core of that work to write the rich score of the "full-blown, complex opera of his new novel, Cloud Chamber" (Robb Forman Dew). Opening in late-nineteenth-century Ireland and moving to Kentucky and finally to the high plains of Montana, Cloud Chamber tells the extraordinary tale of Rose Mannion and her descendants. Over a period of more than one hundred years, Rose's legacy of love and betrayal is passed down from generation to generation until it meets the promise of reconciliation in Rayona, the indomitable part-black, part Native American teenage girl at the center of A Yellow Raft in Blue Water. Cloud Chamber is truly a tour de force, a powerful, rich tale about the energy and persistence of love.
Review:
"A little of John O'Hara, and rather more of A. J. Cronin, here, but the story's details will draw you in and keep you reading."
Kirkus, 11/01/1996
Review:"[The] history is most effective when composed of shards of memory: the ragged jumps in the characters' storytelling and the novel's refusal to tidy up their mysteries are evocative and powerful....It seems fair enough that a story of five generations of people who have stepped outside their own tribes to embrace others should end on such a clear, high note of hope."
Valerie Sayers, New York Times Book Review, 02/09/1997
