Recent Unbridled Reviews
The positive reviews for Unbridled’s fall titles continue to roll in! Check these out:
For In Hovering Flight by Joyce Hinnefeld:
The movement of this novel is frankly a miracle, but a natural one — like the graceful flight of a bird, gliding along a path you couldn’t trace if you tried. I can’t imagine how the author conceived of this structure or had any idea where she was as she was creating it. But the more I read, the more impressed I became at her gently insistent exploration. This is a book so assured and confident that it gradually teaches you how to read it. Hinnefeld moves again and again through the lives of Tom, Addie and Scarlet, revisiting the same events, letting details slowly accrue, building our understanding of these characters and their complicated friendships. A certain degree of suspense builds up, but that’s not really the point. In Hovering Flight is as quiet as twilight and just as lovely. – The Washington Post
Hinnefeld has composed a pair of contained but rich coming-of-age stories… – San Francisco Chronicle
For Freeman Walker by David Allan Cates:
[Freeman Walker is] a magnificently absorbing novel, one that subtly, yet definitively, resonates with the highly politicized tenor of our current times, while adding substance and perspective to our past. – Missoula Independent
Although it moves like a historical thriller, Freeman Walker is really a meditation on freedom. – Missoulian
For Conscience Point by Erica Abeel:
It would be shameful, a spoiler, to reveal exactly what these relationships are in this richly drawn portrait of an ambitious yet appealing parvenu’s encounter — indeed, collision — with the wealthy and entitled….Ms. Abeel is good at incorporating shrewd observations into a structure evoking the literary traditions of Waugh, Proust, Dickens, plus a touch of Stendhal, Nabokov, and Roth. – The East Hampton Star
