“Addictively readable . . . [McFarland] is a master satirist, subtle and unerring in his portrait of contemporary life.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

“A beautiful work, one of those novels that is constantly aware of the surrounding natural world . . . Letter from Point Clear likely will draw the praise [McFarland's] five previous ones did, and deserves it.” —Chicago Sun Times

“An emotionally rich family drama propelled by vivid characters and lovely writing . . . This is not a novel for readers who like endings neatly resolved. Consider it more an unsolved emotional mystery: no crime, no gimmicks, but chock-full of lovely clues.” —USA Today

“Dennis McFarland's forte is family psyche, a dynamic masterfully exploited in Letter from Point Clear.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Dennis McFarland again displays his knack for eloquent subtlety. Letter from Point Clear takes on religion, family dysfunction and gay marriage, among other issues, but not in a didactic way.” —Los Angeles Times
