“Carrie La Seur...dazzles with a dramatic story of a land threatened, a prodigal son returned, and a community divided. A modern Western draped over the bones of a Shakespearean tragedy, La Seur weaves an intimate and achingly beautiful tale of broken promises, legacy, belonging, and the shape of home.” — Valerie Geary, author of Everything We Lost
“La Seur sets her exploration of the Shakespearean themes of abandonment and betrayal, remorse and regret, atonement and redemption against the stunning backdrop of Big Sky country and offers an intimate approach to epic emotions.” — Booklist
“La Seur’s second novel is as beautifully written as her first, telling another gripping and deeply moving tale that is rich in characterization, detail and true emotion. The Weight of an Infinite Sky is a beautiful tale and the perfect winter read!” — RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“This novel captures the real and complex topics of our times: land-use issues, family dynamics, alcoholism, art, and the beauty and sorrows of small-town life. But it’s not a book “only” about the West--it’s a book about humanity and how messy (and lovely) we can be.” — Laura Pritchett, author of The Blue Hour
“Few writers can capture the poetry of the West like Carrie La Seur and with a nod to Shakespeare she probes the west using its most mercurial element--the interior topography of its people. The Weight of an Infinite Sky is bound to be an instant western classic.” — Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire series, the basis for Netflix’s hit drama Longmire
“Carrie La Seur…weaves an elegant thread of Shakespeare and poetry throughout her sophomore novel, The Weight of an Infinite Sky. [It’s] is a leisurely Western, full of nuanced characters.” — Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
“Powerfully evocative and page-turning.” — Rosamund Lupton, New York Times bestselling author of Sister and Afterwards, on The Home Place
