Reviews of Godquake: Life on the Edge by Anne Ewing Rassios

Witty, exuberant, alive to the sights and sounds and feel of a village "on the edge," Godquake is an auspicious debut for Anne Rassios and Moose Hill Books.

--Dan Barnett, Chico Enterprise-Record

"Anne Rassios has given us a fiction of true reality, a composite of so many villages in Greece that are fast disappearing under the impact of modernization and 'globalization,' and she does it with great style. Godquake is a wonderful read, evocative of the continuity of life and perhaps, of the loosing attempt to hold on to it."

--Harry Cliadakis, Professor of History at Pace University

"Anne Ewing Rassios' Godquake: Life on the Edge rivals The Milagro Beanfield Wars for both its sense of place and its strong flavor of magical realism. She weaves a tapestry of gentle humor and deep understanding of Greek village life, along with unique characters the reader comes to love for their fortitude and vulnerability. What Isabel Allende has done for Chile, Anne Ewing Rassios has achieved for Greece."

--Maril Crabtree, Author of Sacred Feathers and Sacred Stones

"Godquake: Life on the Edge, the ambitious first novel by Anne Ewing Rassios, tells a universal story in the guise of a modern fable. Weaving history, myth, and their common truth, the divergent story threads are intimately examined then converge to create a complex, yet rich tapestry that dazzles. This honest, funny, sometimes painful portrait of a place out of time, and the people who love her, kept me smiling with recognition, and a few tears.

--Amy Shojai, Author of eighteen books including Complete Care For Your Aging Dog
