"There is an atmosphere, a palpable sense of time and place, about THE WOLF PIT which grips the reader fervently. With her extraordinary sense of language, Marly Youmans proves herself an artist of the first order in this Civil War novel characterized by passionate action, poetic intensity, insights, and fierce intelligence. A haunting, memorable novel."
--Lee Smith
"In the persons of two engaging young people, a Virginia soldier and a mulatto slave girl, THE WOLF PIT confronts those twin horrors of American experience, the Civil War and slavery. Through the many dramatic events of this novel, Marly Youmans has shown herself as a writer of skill and daring. She merits comparison only with the best."
--Elizabeth Spencer
"Beautifully crafted and rich in historical detail, THE WOLF PIT is a stunning novel, mesmerizing from beginning to end. Marly Youmans is a wonderful writer."
--Jill McCorkle
"THE WOLF PIT is a fever dream of a book, a lamentation by a mutilated slave girl and a star-crossed Confederate Soldier. Marly Youmans's lyrical touch puts her in the first rank of contemporary American novelists."
--Curtis Wilke, author of the forthcoming DIXIE(Scribner, 2001)
