Reviews
“A tragedy, a thriller, a mystery, and a psychological profile all rolled into one … Diamond’s first novel has the depth, characterization, and foreboding of one of the greats … a great effort from a promising author” —Midwest Book Review
“A superb first novel, it is sure to startle, frighten and inspire.” —Sojourner
“Early on, Rickey Gard Diamond channels Hemingway’s poise and restraint.” —The New York Times
“In the tradition of some of America’s greatest writers, Faulkner and Thoreau among them, Rickey Gard Diamond leads us into the wilderness and invites us to ask questions that matter: Where is our place in the violent natural world? Can women and men cross the rickety bridge over the gorge that separates us? At once heartbreaking and life-affirming, visceral and analytic, Second Sight is serious, startling work.” —Wally Lamb
“Readers of Second Sight are richer for [Diamond’s] courage.” —Jean Hegland
“The novel’s conclusion is as sad and inevitable as a Greek tragedy.” —Library Journal
