A haunting story of the power of death, the pain of loss, and the possibility of hope.

Gripping, damning, and transfixing.
---Entertainment Weekly

. . . possesses a time-bending gravity. . . . [A] small classic of graceful language and earned emotion.
---San Francisco Chronicle

. . . a beautifully written novel of war and the wrenching grief and unanswerable questions it leaves in its wake. . . . A Century of November is full of precise, startling imagery and elegant, richly poetic description---Wetherell seems genuinely incapable of writing a lazy sentence---and this last section of the novel is as surreal, hypnotic and harrowing as any literature in recent memory. The whole thing, in fact, is a jewel, an unforgettable historical novel that Wetherell has carefully (and artfully) seeded with loads of contemporary resonance. ---Star-Tribune (Minneapolis)

A poignant, probing story. . . . Wetherell's prose and character writing are unflinching . . . [and his] take on a parent's anguish is deeply moving.
---Publishers Weekly

A timely reminder of the devastation of mortal combat. . . .
---Atlanta Journal-Constitution
