Reviews"A jubilant novel . . . [An] evocative family tale of love, passion, and forgiveness." --San Francisco Chronicle "[THIS] POWERFUL STORY IS ABOUT LOVE, FORGIVENESS, PASSION AND BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF." --Detroit Free Press "HUGELY ORIGINAL, BY THE LIGHT OF MY FATHER'S SMILE HAS MORE THAN A HINT OF INCANTATORY MAGIC ABOUT IT. . . . Light explores what happens--to an entire family--when a daughter cannot forgive her father for a single, hypocritical, soul-crushing act. It explores the dangerous bonds of fidelity between sisters, lovers, memories. . . . Walker's language is sensual and at the same time delightfully precise. . . . Political, immodest, astonishing by turns, [this novel] once again demonstrates Walker's gigantic talent." --The Baltimore Sun "PROVOCATIVE . . . A BEGUILING STORY OF DIFFICULT FATHER-DAUGHTER BONDS AND STAR-CROSSED LOVERS." --People BY THE LIGHT OF MY FATHER'S SMILE "FULFILLS A READER'S NEED FOR WISDOM. . . . WRITTEN IN AT LEAST TWO DIMENSIONS AND ACROSS DECADES." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "ALICE WALKER IS A LAVISHLY GIFTED WRITER." --The New York Times Book Review From the Trade Paperback edition.
