Recenzii
"Adults and mature young readers alike will find in the boy's bittersweet memories a parable for our time." — Christian Science Monitor
"Sounder is a remarkable story, compassionate, powerfully moving, showing the qualities of dignity and endurance at their highest, in both man and beast. A memorable dog story, it is also the chronicle of a man, a woman, and a boy, equally hard to forget. . . . Sounder will be read for a long time to come." — Wall Street Journal
"The author writes in details that glow alive." — New York Book Review
"The writing is simple, timeless, and extraordinarily moving. An oustanding book." — Commonweal
