“You’ll feel both the sweltering African sun and the touch of a gracious God in this delicate, shimmering epic.” — David Hutchens, author of Circle of the Nine Muses and Pageland.
“This is highly evocative storytelling: the smell of cooking fires, the elemental simplicity of the cycle of life in a Ugandan village, the strangeness of the whites and the Soga to each other. Greg Taylor has shown us how people separated by cultural and social gaps as wide as the gorges of the Nile can, and have, stumbled toward some kind of understanding.” — Thom Lemmons, author of Jabez: A Novel; Sunday Clothes; and other novels
“High Places moves with a quiet honesty that rumbles like the distant drumming of the small Ugandan village Taylor so lovingly details. As the modest candor of the story gathers strength, this unfamiliar world of the Soga tribe begins to reveal something beyond cultural difference: the deep human struggle for dignity and understanding among families — and civilizations.” — Jeff Berryman, author of Leaving Ruin: A Novel
