Reviews
“ The White Man in the Tree…is Kurlansky’s fifth book but first of fiction, and a reader might reasonably wonder what took him so long to jump into the pool, given the strength of his talent.”
New York Times
“ Mark Kurlansky was born to write fiction..he has an ability to unmask our foibles and write about love with wit and outright humor.”
