Reviews"[Robert] Parker writes with economy and precision and wit and passion. . . . Love and Glory [is] one of the best love stories I've ever encountered."-The Press-Chronicle "A straightforward, unrelenting, shamelessly romantic novel that's about a two-year obsession. . . . It works . . . love stories that work are almost an extinct breed. Almost."-Santa Cruz Sentinel "Parker's writing is like fine architecture or music-it's both intricate and direct. There are no false notes."-Chicago Sun-Times
