Raves and Reviews
“A spellbinding story of a complex woman and her imperfect choices, and how those choices resonate from mother to child and beyond. Probst’s latest is a treasure—her nuanced portrait of tragedy and renewal is profound and moving, and impossible to put down.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times best-selling author of The Stolen Queen
“Probst has created an unflinchingly gritty, sexy anti-heroine you can’t look away from. I gritted my teeth and hoped for the best as I raced toward the conclusion.”—Alka Joshi, New York Times best-selling author of The Henna Artist and the Jaipur Trilogy
“Roll the Sun Across the Sky mesmerizes from the first pages. How can one be good and still exist in a complicated world? Barbara Linn Probst deftly handles this question via her complex characters in this multi-generational novel. Stunningly written, compelling, and suspenseful, this is an unforgettable read.” —Julie Maloney, author of A Matter of Chance and director of Women Reading Aloud

“If the devil is in the details, Probst is diabolically good . . . Characters are richly drawn, exotic locations are artfully described, and the language is fresh and sometimes poetic. . . Much to chew over, including explorations of the role of motherhood, the need for forgiveness, and the power of memory. Thought-provoking, textured, and touching.”—Kirkus Reviews
