“[A] disturbing but beautifully told tale . . . dramatic and surprising.” —Library Journal

“Poignant . . . A dramatic climax. Fickett is a fine craftsman whose strength is his character writing and the compassion he displays for his decidedly flawed cast. . . . Recalls the early work of Carolyn Chute.” —Publishers Weekly

“I found Nectar almost addictive in the way it held my interest. Fickett truly captures the time, place, and people.” —Booksense, Rita Moran, Apple Valley Books, Winthrop, ME
