Five Smooth Stones: A Novel (Rediscovered Classics) - Softcover

"A courageous novel . . . David is a marvelously well-done character." --Library Journal

"A long and richly realized novel . . . Ann Fairbairn renders her scenes so skillfully and reveals her hero so fully that [his] qualities are transformed from desirable abstractions to a memorable identity. . . The numerous people characterized so clearly in this novel are 'mortal humans.' That is rare enough in any fiction dealing with one of the bone-deep issues of our time." --The New York Times Book Review

"No matter how large Ann Fairbairn's audience is, it won't be large enough . . . Technically Miss Fairbairn is flawless . . . David Champlin is a great tragic hero in a memorable story." --Denver Post

"Every so often along comes the big book that defies categorization . . . It has real size, stature . . . Above all, it rings true . . . You may put it down, but you can't forget it. You have to come back. Such is the case with Five Smooth Stones." --Springfield Daily News
