What Kirkus said…
Liberty Bazaar: “Shades of Charles Dickens work … this offbeat, refreshingly absorbing Civil War novel features impeccable research … Along with the two well-drawn narrators, the novel boasts several wonderful secondary characters.” Read Kirkus Blue Starred review in full
The River’s Song:  “Lim tells their story in prose that’s subtle, cleareyed and lyrical, linking a city’s rise with the emotional travails of its inhabitants. A fine, deeply felt saga of lives caught up in progress that’s as heartbreaking as it is hopeful.” Read Kirkus Blue Starred review in full
