"An extraordinary novel . . . a deeply satisfying story. There is grace and poetry in Morris's prose." Kirkus Reviews
"A grand sweep of a novel: Morris, like a contemporary Dickens, creates a world teeming with incident and characters, often foolish, even nasty, but always alive." The Boston Globe
"Songs in Ordinary Time is deep and thick as a long, hot summer, a fully realized world . . . wrought with fearless detail . . . the narrative of a town reminiscent of the collective ache of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter."

I started to read it, but couldn't get into it and eventually gave up. Hopefully, someone who likes it better will pick it up.

I started to read this, but ultimately put it down and couldn't finish it. Not my cup of tea, I guess. I hope I can send it to someone who will appreciate it more than I did.

Well-written but depressing story of a hard-luck family in small-town Vermont at the end of the 1950s who fall afoul of a creepy confidence man. Full of deception, death, and lies, the book is full of gathering darkness and a sense of doom.
