Extras
Quotes
"[Lehane] deserves to be included among the most interesting and accomplished American novelists of any genre or category. . . . A powerful moment in history, and Lehane makes the most of it. . . . Heartfelt and moving."
- Washington Post Book World
"Home run. . . . Great pulp storytelling."
- Time magazine
“The Given Day is a vast historical novel. . . . Spectacular details. . . . Finely thought-out. . . . . Many stunningly managed scenes.”
- Boston Globe
"Steeped in history but wearing its research lightly, The Given Day is a meaty, rich, old-fashioned and satisfying tale. I'd call it Lehane's masterpiece."
- Seattle Times
"Passionate and powerful. . . . [Lehane] is becoming, book by book, the foremost chronicler of social class in America. . . . Lehane is trying to get his arms around the origins of modern America, the divide between red states and blue states, the great cultural cleaver that splits the country right down the middle . . . [in this] massive, ambitious novel."
- Chicago Tribune
"[Lehane] brings vividly to life the struggles that the working classes faced in pursuit of decent working conditions and a fair wage."
- The New Yorker
"Superbly written, meticulously researched. . . . A thoughtful, provocative exploration of race, fame, power, and political corruption in American culture. . . . The Given Day places [Lehane] in the first rank of modern American novelists."
- Associated Press
"Gut-wrenching force. . . . A majestic, fiery epic. . . . The Given Day is a huge, impassioned, intensively researched book that brings history alive."
- New York Times
"[A] work of admirable ambition and scope. . . . Lehane is as much like contemporaries George Pelecanos and Richard Price as he is like the bygone Boston-based John P. Marquand, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist."
- Los Angeles Times Book Review
