Reviews of The Songcatcher “A memorable, tuneful tale.”—Chicago Tribune
“(McCrumb) crafts two intriguing, at times suspenseful, narratives tied together by a haunting Scottish song.” -The Orlando Sentinel
“A satisfying tale that moves quickly through three centuries of family history, bound together by a family song … Ms. McCrumb captures the Blue Ridge accurately and lovingly.” -Richmond Times-Dispatch
“The narrative of this fetching tale interweaves mountain ancestors and contemporary folk like the latticework of an old summer porch.” -Roanoke Times & World News
“Enjoyable … McCrumb has given her ancestors life … She blends the two stories beautifully, the same way a talented musician can weave words and notes into a song you can’t stop humming.” -News & Record (Greensboro, NC)
“Sharyn McCrumb is noted for taking folkloric material — specifically Appalachian ballads and stories — and expanding them through works of fiction to relate to our modern world. She is a master at finding some inherent truths in characters and events of the old stories and updating those ideas to accommodate a modern setting.” -Dirty Linen
