Andrew Peterson: It is difficult to express how deeply this book affected me and all my work thereafter. Annie Dillard is one of the finest writers you’ll ever read. But don’t take my word for it:
“She has a strange and wonderful mind, and the ability to speak it with enduring grace.” —The New Yorker
“She sees the world with a penetrating eye and presents it to us in a refreshing new dimension . . . masterful.” —Smithsonian
“She is a fine wayfarer, one who travels light, reflective and alert to the shrines and holy places.” —New York Times Book Review
“There is no way to avoid seeing again after you have read Annie Dillard.” —Doris Grumbach, The New Republic
