SWEET LAMB OF HEAVEN.

Edition: First printing.

New York: W. W. Norton & Company, (2016) dj. Hardcover first edition - A thought-provoking novel and one of the best books by an author who "is not as popular as she should be." Although marketed as a "thriller" this is much more. Author Lisa Zeidner in reviewing this book commented on Millet's "category-defying voice, a slippery blend of lyricism and absurdist humor. She asks profound philosophical questions, yet has a direct, confiding style that doesnÕt broadcast high seriousness. . [this novel] is part fast-paced thriller, part quiet meditation on the nature of God. If those two genres donÕt quite seem to mesh Ñ well, setting up house in such disjunctions is what Millet does best. , [her work] is exuberant and playful. That Millet can smuggle her original insights into a structure featuring a rollicking kidnapping plot and deliciously well-drawn characters makes her achievement even more remarkable." 250 pp. ISBN: 978-0393285543.

Condition: Fine in fine dust jacket.
