The News from Paraguay - Brossura

‘Tuck’s prose is elegant, the subject well researched.’ New York Times Book Review

‘The episodic style achieves many lovely moments. Images are so vivid you can almost smell them.’ Washington Post Book World

‘Decorous detail and vivid imagery...Reading “The News from Paraguay” feels like looking into a crystal ball: seeing pieces of a garden, storm clouds building, lives passing.’ Los Angeles Times

‘A tense, elegant novel...Paraguay emerges as Tuck’s characters do, imperceptibly, until the sounds, smells, and colors of the country saturate the pages.’ Boston Globe

‘Tuck’s knack for shaving a scene to its essence feeds the book’s speedy pace. And when linked, such snapshots build a portrait of a lost place and time.’ San Francisco Chronicle
