Perpetua's Kin Elicits Early Applause from Booksellers Across the U.S.

"Cunningham has once again raised the bar on the art of the novel...exceptionally rich...a distinctly American portrait, but the overarching themes are universal. I walk away from a reading like this ruminating on the largeness of life and the lasting influence that novelists can have on every one of us." 

- Nancy Scheemaker 

NORTHSHIRE BOOKSTORE, Saratoga Springs, NY

"Beautiful...takes the reader right in. Cunningham gives us a book to savor -- a fulfilling, substantial book, and a joy to read." 

- Janet Boreta 

founder, ORINDA BOOKS, Orinda, CA

"I very much hope Perpetua's Kin reaches as many readers' hands as possible...expansive in scope and ideas...enchanting." 

- Hans Weyandt
 MILKWEED BOOKSTORE, Minneapolis, MN

"A poetic, kaleidoscopic look at intergenerational pain, love, longing, and restlessness, through the lenses of war and telegraphy." 

- Carolyn Kulog
 BETTY'S BOOKS, Baker City, OR

"Expertly imagined...from the battlefields of the Civil War to Ocean Beach in 1940s San Francisco ... Much to contemplate in this thought-provoking novel." 

- Marion Abbott
