The Strange Death of Mistress Coffin

“Mesmerizing. Slowly, subtly, the story twists on itself like a pinned snake. . . .Not since Kenneth Roberts has anyone written of early New England life in such vivid and convincing detail. . . .A gifted writer with an extraordinary feeling for the past.” --Annie Proulx, The New York Times Book Review

“Stereotypes we learned in grade school simply don’t exist here; instead, there are passionate, complex characters, including unexpectedly strong and often rebellious women.” --The Denver Post

“Begiebing illuminates the dark and wonderful intricacy of the human heart.” --Yankee Magazine
