"A quick, charming book for a low-key evening" Saints Visible is a charming, folksy tale about what happens when a fundamentalist preacher arrives in small, easy-going Brahmton and his influence begins to grow. The town librarian's narration is funny and relaxed, and even the rather abrupt, too-easy resolution is tonally consistent with the novel's laid-back charms. All in all, Saints Visible is a quick, satisfying read for a low-key evening.
"Hilarious and moving" The author's prose is relaxed, rural, and funny as hell would be if hell was the place funny people went. The story is thoughtful and engrossing and, more than any other lately, made me want to beat the antagonist senseless. This is a good thing, as rarely have I encountered an antagonist so frustratingly well-drawn. You'll find that, once you start reading, the book will be over much quicker than even its 201 pages suggest; you won't want to put it down. Support this author!
