Review
"The characters in Ms. Spencer's elegantly written novel are influenced, even controlled, by past events. They live in a Gulf Coast town recently devastated by a hurricane and are engaged in a languid tug-of-war over the sort of reconstruction to be done, but most of them truly act in response to old loves, friendships, grudges, or fears, emotions delicately and plausibly revealed by the author. In an oblique way, this is a ghost story, and a very fine one." -- Atlantic Monthly
"Spencer's technique is so fluid, her prose so unpretentious and the various plots so engrossing that we may not notice we've read a modern morality tale until days later when fundamental questions raised in this challenging novel resurface to demand our attention." -- Los Angeles Times
"The Salt Line is taut and trim, and it moves. A stream of action flows strongly beneath the acute observation and the psychological drama. It is, in short, all that a novel should be." -- Montreal Gazette
"Spencer has worked magic.... The reader rejoices in the good prose, smells the salt, sees light glimmering on the waves, and grows warm." -- Toronto Globe and Mail
