American Owned Love

"A smart, sensitive, unforgettable novel.... Rare is the contemporary novel that simultaneously entertains [and] unselfconsciously inspires. Beyond even these noteworthy accomplishments, "American Owned Love" translates qualities usually impossible to describe, the ineffable, luminous, mutating qualities of love".

— "Chicago Tribune" "This remarkable novel courses down the black river that divides all America — the river of inequality and blindness and racial prejudice — in language that sings, and with a rare richness of compassion and humor and empathy".

— Andrea Barrett, author of "Ship Fever", 1996 National Book Award Winner

"Robert Boswell does here what few male American writers have been able to achieve: He writes about ordinary domestic life with passionate intensity. The families of "American Owned Love" are as typical as any nowadays, but their story has the compelling attractions of a romance or a thriller".

— Madison Smartt Bell
