As Anah struggles to appease the dead, it becomes apparent that only through one of her own daughters can redemption be attained. <p/>Poignant, lyrical, and utterly compelling, <i>Behold the Many</i> is a stunning novel that glows with longing and life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A mystical, magical, and, at times, macabre world unfolds in Lois-Ann Yamanaka's elegiac tale of three sisters. . . . A chillingly spectral portrait of souls tormented by love and guilt." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"A novel with impressive scope and emotional power . . . One's words can heal, one's words can hurt. In Yamanka's vivid novel <i>Behold the Many, </i> her words do both, breaking our hearts and nursing them back to wholeness with the balm of her prose." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"Tender, poignant, and written in unadorned prose, this is a book to savor." --<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"In this superb seventh novel from Yamanaka, the ghosts of children curse the living, and a young woman finds salvation in early 20th-century Hawai'i. . . . Beautifully tragic, this should garner Yamanka the wider attention she deserves." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Lois-Ann Yamanaka</b> lives in Honolulu, Hawai'i.</p>
