Review
“A single vision encompasses these people in all their self-contradictions, betrayals, nobility, bewilderment... every pattern leads out into a larger atmosphere of mercy and wonder.” —Margaret Avison
“The story poses in opposition disinterested love and practical use and teaches how ‘love’ must be flawed by ‘use,’ and how love must be preserved in a world set to destroy it.” —Commonwealth
"Literature I highly recommend it for middle school children, but I would recommend parents read it too, so they can talk about it with the young readers, can explain how things once were with people and pets - and sometimes still are." —Library Thing
