Reviews
Advance Praise for Miss Burma : "A sweeping novel of Burma and its complicated history, told from the perspective of people whose voices have been systematically erased from the official record. Charmaine Craig writes about war and exile with an exquisite mix of tenderness and intelligence. A brilliant book." --Laila Lalami, author of The Moor's Account "Charmaine Craig wields powerful and vivid prose to illuminate a country and a family trapped not only by war and revolution, but also by desire and loss. Both epic and intimate, Miss Burma is a compelling and disturbing trip through Burmese history and politics." --Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer Praise for The Good Men : "A rich novel . . . ambitious . . . As a writer, [Craig's] the real deal . . . Craig has the gift of finding complexity in simple people, and she tells their stories in fluid, shapely prose." --Lev Grossman, Time "An ambitious first novel . . . There is much to admire in The Good Men , especially its deft juggling of complex intersecting story lines." -- New York Times Book Review "[A] stunning first novel. The Good Men . . . is redolent with time and place . . . It is an absorbing tale, and a short course on rural life in the Middle Ages." -- Los Angeles Times "In her admirable novel, The Good Men , Charmaine Craig transports her readers to medieval France and the dark labyrinths of heresy . . . A memorable and absorbing debut." --Margot Livesey, author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy " The Good Men is an authentic novel of heresy. The book is beautifully composed and darkly memorable. I have never read so powerful an account, fictive or historical, of the Cathar rebels against the Roman Catholic Church. Craig's vision encompasses an entire culture, which was forever destroyed." --Harold Bloom "A tour de force." -- Chicago Tribune "A lush, textured story . . . that resonates as much in the twenty-first century as the fourteenth." -- Baltimore Sun "Dazzling." -- Harper's Bazaar "A rich tale . . . Craig deserves critical acclaim . . . for creating a novel that is not only highly readable, but one that forces her audience to squirm in the face of historical tragedy--and squirm we should." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Charmaine Craig has achieved a bold resurrection from the fourteenth century . . . Lucky for fiction, Craig's own voice is alive and well, knowing and musical." --Geoffrey Wolff, author of The Duke of Deception
