Isn’t that like sorting through diamonds?” —Lytherus Praise for Connie Willis “A novelist who can plot like Agatha Christie and whose books possess a bounce and stylishness that Preston Sturges might envy.” —The Washington Post “One of America’s finest writers . . . Willis can tell a story so packed with thrills, comedy, drama and a bit of red herring that the result is apt to satisfy the most discriminating, and hungry, reader.” —The Denver Post “A wit with a common touch who’s read more great books, and makes better use of them in her work, than two or three lit professors put together.” —Newsday “A national treasure.” —San Antonio Express-News “Willis can tell a story like no other. . . .
