A treat for both the heart and the intellect, At Paradise Gate is a gracefully poignant portrait of an ordinary midwestern family confronting the mysteries of death and regeneration.

Infused with sharp insight, honesty, and emotion, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley brilliantly captures the simple pleasures and troubles common to everyday life in At Paradise Gate.

"Studded with sensuous descriptive passages and marked with slivers of insight, a treat for the senses and intellect alike." -- Library Journal
