• BookPage will be running a RAVE review  in the January 2009 issue.   “TWO RIVERS is reminiscent of Thornton Wilder, with its quiet New England town shadowed by tragedy, and of Sherwood Anderson, with its sense of desperate loneliness and regret… Even the protagonist’s name, Harper, calls to mind To Kill a Mockingbird, with its painful racial entanglements also set in a small town… It’s to Greenwood’s credit that she answers her novel’s mysteries in ways that are believable, that make you feel the sadness that informs her characters’ lives.”
• Vermont Magazine will also be featuring a two page interview with T. Greenwood about TWO RIVERS, to run in their Arts & Culture issue (May-June issue), on stands in April.
