Editorial Review

"Cook has written a powerful, lyrical novel that ends quietly but with profound impact." — Quill &amp Quire, starred review"I finished The House on Sugarbush Road stunned at the sheer life on its pages. I felt I had seen South Africa in a way that will always shape my thinking about it. The beauty of the language, the author’s eye for moving and incongruous detail, her understanding of the searing realities of post—Apartheid South Africa——all are extraordinary. What Mira?ook especially grasps and explores with great delicacy are the ties that bind her characters together: a shared past, but also greed, need, and something approaching love." — Joan Thomas, author of Curiosity
