A Century of November

Winner of the 2004 Michigan Literary Fiction Award for novel
A haunting story of the power of death, the pain of loss, and the possibility of hope.
"Gripping, damning, and transfixing."
---"Entertainment Weekly"
" . . . possesses a time-bending gravity. . . . A] small classic of graceful language and earned emotion."
"---San Francisco Chronicle"
." . . a beautifully written novel of war and the wrenching grief and unanswerable questions it leaves in its wake. . . . "A Century of November" is full of precise, startling imagery and elegant, richly poetic description---Wetherell seems genuinely incapable of writing a lazy sentence---and this last section of the novel is as surreal, hypnotic and harrowing as any literature in recent memory. The whole thing, in fact, is a jewel, an unforgettable historical novel that Wetherell has carefully (and artfully) seeded with loads of contemporary resonance." ---"Star-Tribune" (Minneapolis)
"A poignant, probing story. . . . Wetherell's prose and character writing are unflinching . . . and his] take on a parent's anguish is deeply moving."
---"Publishers Weekly"
" ""A timely reminder of the devastation of mortal combat. . . ."
---"Atlanta Journal-Constitution"
