A really, really nice review for Absalom's Daughters from Publishers Weekly: "resonant and engrossing....The book breathes new life into the road trip story both with its inclusion of magical realism and with its memorable pairing of two teenagers--Cassie, who's black, and Judith, who's white--who have recently discovered that they have the same father....This warm story with two endearing leads offers a new frame of understanding for what it means to seek freedom, and what the seeker must give up in exchange."
