"Funny, tender, intelligent, energetic, irreverent, and worshipful. It is an enormous juggling act of families, animals and faith, and it kept me engaged through every page" Ann Patchett, author of Orange Prize winner Bel Canto; "I loved The Flood. It's a funny, convincing amplification of the Biblical story" Tracy Chevalier; "A funny, cheeky, irreverent, wonderfully original first novel, informed both by Biblical history and Dave Maine's joyous imagination" Jim Fergus, author of One Thousand White Women"
