Praise for Prudence:
"Tender and devastating ...[A] master class on suspense, shifting perspective and conflicting desire." --Anthony Marra, The Washington Post
"Treuer does a masterful job exploring the multiple stories that culminate in the death of a young woman in small-town Minnesota...One of the most honest, moving novels about America in quite a while." --Los Angeles Times
"Both blunt and hushed in tone, wielding a sledgehammer while walking on tiptoes...Treuer doesn't just unravel the plot we might expect; he prompts us to interrogate the assumptions -- racial, sexual and otherwise -- that build up those expectations in the first place." --NPR
"Tightly plotted hybrid fiction that combines elements of a mystery, a literary romance and a Greek tragedy." --Chicago Tribune
"So good that when you get to the end, you'll want to reread the beginning to see how the author set his magic in motion." - More
