SHADOW SONG

A Selection of The Literary Guild

“[SHADOW SONG] is just like a wonderful meal… rich, satisfying, and delicious.”

—Fannie Flagg

“Both The Bridges of Madison County and SHADOW SONG are middle-aged love stories, sweet and highly romantic.… But Kay’s book is bigger in scope.”

—Cincinnati Post

“Elegiac and beautifully sustained from first to last. If you are looking for a love story that is intensely romantic… SHADOW SONG should be ideal. Read it, if you can, in the mountains, next to a fire—you, too, may hear the music.”

— Greensboro News & Record (NC)

“A nostalgic look back at a more innocent time and a grown-up love story.”

—Milwaukee Journal

“[A] lyrical testimony to the indomitable spirit of friendship and the tenacity of true love.”

—Booklist

“This sentimental romance pulls on the heartstrings as it tells a bittersweet tale of thwarted love.”

—Publishers Weekly

“A heartfelt paean to love.… Terry Kay has a gift of knowing the beauty in life and people.… Bittersweet at times, bursting with ecstasy at others, SHADOW SONG is… yet another bit of magic from this deft storyteller.… Kay’s characters are small-town, down-to-earth, someone-you-probably-recognize people.… This is a human novel… a story about the most profound kind of loving— loving with joy, with the whole heart.”

— Lexington Herald-Leader (KY)

“Engagingly written, cheerfully sentimental, and generally charming.… Kay has a talent for choosing detail that is telling… and in establishing a cheerfulness that can sometimes flash with humor.”

—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Rich in humor, joy, and wisdom, SHADOW SONG tells of love, relationships, Southernness, old age, how to live and the effects of death. … It is best not to read it quickly but to savor it, to read it thoughtfully, taking time to move into the ocean-deep channels of feeling.… Readers of Terry Kay’s earlier books will find the same compassion, tenderness, and infectious humor.… Terry Kay is both a memorable tale-spinner and a master of the craft of writing.”
