Sandra Gulland, author of The Josephine B.
Trilogy
"Beneath a Marble Sky is a passionate, lush, and dramatic novel,
rich with a sense of place. John Shors is an author of sweeping
imaginative force."
ForeWord Magazine
"Shors…creates a vivid and striking world that feels as close as
a plane ride. Most important, he manages to convey universal feelings
in a tangible and intimate way. Shah Jahan’s grief isn’t just that
of a man who lived centuries ago; it’s a well of emotion felt long
before Mumatz Mahal ever lived, and is still felt today. Shors’s
ability to tap into that well, and make it so alive, renders the
novel as luminous a jewel as any that adorn the Taj Mahal’s walls.”
St. Petersburg Times
"(A) story of romance and passion. (Beneath a Marble Sky) is
a wonderful book if you want to escape to a foreign land while relaxing
in your porch swing."
Midwest Book Review
"A majestic novel that irresistibly draws the reader within its
saga of human struggles, failings, alliances and betrayals.”
Peter Kotz, Cleveland Scene
"Spellbinding. Beneath a Marble Sky is a remarkable book, an impressive
debut that will enchant anyone fortunate enough to read it."
William Day, San Antonio Express-News
"Beneath a Marble Sky is a tale of exquisite beauty …
rich in detail, ambition, and vitality."
Denver Rocky Mountain News
"(Beneath a Marble Sky) is an absorbing novel about the extremes
of passion - with much relevance for our own time.”
The Boulder Daily Camera
"Beneath a Marble Sky definitely qualifies as a good read.”
