| "[An] engagingly intricate debut. . . The
characters become as real to the reader as they are to [the
narrator]. Though brimful of sentiment, The Song Reader never
spills over into sentimentality." -- The Philadelphia
Inquirer (Editor’s Choice), September 21, 2003 |
| "[T]he book is an anthem to the power of music
in individual lives. It's Tucker's way of gently encouraging all of
us to take a minute and listen to the music of our lives." -- Ventura
County Star, September 7, 2003 |
| "The plot is every bit as fascinating as the
premise." -- Standard-Examiner, August 3, 2003 |
| "A brilliant, hard-to-put-down novel, Tucker
teaches us a life lesson. . ." -- Memphis Flyer, July
3, 2003 |
| "[The] song reading device is ingenious...
Tucker skillfully juggles the elements of this complicated
story." -- The Boston Globe, May 11, 2003 |
| "[A] clever story of family devotion and
secrets, by a strong new author. Lisa Tucker is a writer to watch
and will no doubt become a household name in the future."--
Bookreporter, May 2003 |
| "The Song Reader is just a spectacular
novel, fulfilling all the requirements for such a designation: It's

premise into a fascinating novel" -- The Denver Post --

to one another and the energy required to repair the damage..."

bittersweet story of compassion, forgiveness, and the search for
redemption. This is a wonderful first novel." -- Booklist --

Lived in the Castle and Pat Conroy's Prince of Tides, but
it's not lost in their shadows" -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review -- 3/17/03 |
