Ash Wednesday \s a novel of blazing emotion and remarkable grace, a tale that captures the intensity—the excitement, fear, and joy—of being on the threshold of the mysterious country of marriage and parenthood. Powerful, assured, large of heart, and punctuated by moments of tremendous humor, it represents, for Hawke the novelist, a major leap forward.
"Succeeds because of a kind of rolling exuberance of style that carries one along a narrative freeway with no exits. Once you're on, you're on." —Larry McMurtry
"[Hawke] displays a novelist's innate gifts. He has a sharp eye, a fluid storytelling voice and the Imagination to create complicated individuals." —The New York Times
