""Sufficient Grace" examines both the nature of love and kinds of
nurture we all hunger for. Arnoult invites us to a feast of love, a
kind of communion."--Lee Smith, author of "The Last Girls"

Hallelujah." -- "The News & Observer" (Raleigh, North Carolina)

interesting, offbeat characters that readers will find themselves
rooting for as they struggle to stay in the present while letting
the past take care of itself." -- "The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution"
"If I were to tell you everything that's humane, witty, smart,
touching, captivating in this book, I would be hoarse." -- Judy
Goldman, author of "Early Leaving"
"In regional literature, 'Southern' and 'spiritual' often go hand
in hand, and nowhere is that piquant association more radiantly
portrayed than in Arnoult's debut novel, a transcendent exploration
of the unrestrained vagaries of faith and the unexpected roads to
redemption...With astute sensitivity, Arnoult bravely and
generously endows her formidable characters with charming candor
and perceptive humanity in an elegiac yet hopeful tale of elegant
strength, serene love, and infectious desire. Deeply felt." --
"Booklist"
"Southern culture and religion are themes interwoven in the
story...and...redemption comes in unexpected ways." --
"KnoxNews"
"Tennessee is blessed with a growing number of outstanding writers.
While each has a distinctive voice, their work often invites
comparison to other writers. Arnoult brings to mind the work of
Flannery O'Connor...Poignant...This wonderful story...is truly one
of the literary highlights of this summer." -- "The Tennessean"
