What The Reviewers Say

Robert Sullivan,
The New York Times Book Review
A geographic memoir.
Max Winter,
The Star Tribune
Has an eye-opening factoid or anecdote in practically every sentence. These facts are not just idle trivia; the pieces of information Kimmelman disburses have narratives behind them.

Publishers Weekly
Scintillating.

Kirkus
Lively book, which includes excellent photos.
