| "Equal parts vintage crime novel and Southern Gothic,
full of aching ambivalence and hard compromises, and rounded off by
bad faith and bad choices, "One Foot in Eden" is a veritable garden
of earthly disquiet." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review |
| "One Foot In Eden linger... a page-turner with a palpable sense of time and place, and an abiding compassion for the troubled humans who move through its pages" -- The Charlotte Observer |
| "It is a finely polished novel" -- William W. Starr, The Columbia State |
| "The story of One Foot in Eden is simple, elemental. The conclusion has the force and inevitability of real tragedy ... a tragedy that occurs in the ancient, brooding mountains of the Southern Appalachians." -- Don Noble, Alabama Public Radio |
| "Ron Rash writes like a landscape painter and it is the land that is the heart of this haunting tale of love, murder and loss" -- Diana Pinckney, Creative Loafing |
| "Rash's novel has a little bit of everything: romance, sex, folklore, history, and murder. But most of all it has the power of lyrical, poetic prose that Rash has become known for." -- Silas House, Appalachian Heritage |
| "Once you start it, you will find it extremely hard to put down." -- Kathryn Smith, The Anderson Independent |
| "One Foot in Eden is a story of wild, almost primitive force..." -- Fred Chappell, poet laureate of North Carolina |
| "One Foot in Eden is a classic tale of passion and tragedy. Each voice rings as true as the sound of an ax in the cold early morning air." -- Lee Smith, author of The Last Girls |
| "Ron Rash is one of our finest writers" -- Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek |
