"Fully enjoyable.... This memento mori is as much about the teeming, glad business of life as it is about grief --'the bright blessed day,' as the Louis Armstrong song puts it, as well as the dark sacred night." --The Washington Post "Sophisticated and surprising.... And the Dark Sacred Night is a quiet novel the way a modest rope of pearls represents the urgent efforts of two dozen oysters.... Takes on the qualities of a thriller.... So deft and economical that even a parade of disappointed lives feels luminous." --San Francisco Chronicle "The only regret you'll have at the end of this particular story is that it's over." --Entertainment Weekly "An engrossing read." --Newsday
