Professional Reviews
Professional Reviews	Salon: "Russo gives us a panoramic yet nuanced view of the imaginary town of Empire Falls, Maine, showing how the history of one powerful family can become the history of a place. It's the kind of big, sprawling, leisurely novel, full of subplots and vividly drawn secondary characters, that people are always complaining is an endangered species. Yet in part thanks to Russo's deft satiric touch--much of the book is laugh-out-loud funny--it never feels too slow or old-fashioned."
