Reviews
โTwenty-five years after its print publication, Pacific Edge finally has an audio edition, thanks to Stefan Rudnicki and Skyboat MediaโฆNo other book in my collection has the power to uplift me with hope and optimism like this oneโฆPacific Edge is an inspiring story about inspiring stories. Itโs even more relevant now than it was a quarter century ago.โ
โThrough a blend of dirt-under-fingernails naturalism and lyrical magical realism, Robinson invites us to share his charactersโ intensely personal, intensely loyal attachment to what they have. The result is a bittersweet utopia that may shame you into entertaining new hope for the future.โ
โAn outstanding achievementโฆRobinsonโs writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre. The book generates a soaring optimism.โ
