A poignant blend of tragedy and delight; witty and brave. --Robert Barone, Professor of History, University of Montevallo
Sharyn Talbert has written a wonderful book about every family's greatest fear. With a sharp eye for grief and a killing turn of phrase, Tomorrow, Long Ago will stay as long in the memory as the work of Emily Dickinson. Talbert shows us a heartbreaking new America, a world that, for all its sunlight, is in deep pain. At the same time, her book has an arc of grace, taking us to an improbable place of light and healing. This is a profound work of real importance.--Sebastian D.G. Knowles, Professor of English Emeritus, The Ohio State University
