Paula Huston 
A Land Without Sin [EPUB ebook] 
A Novel

One of Publishers Weekly’s Best Summer Books 2013





‘In
A Land Without Sin Paula Huston has written a novel that’s wise and wry, tragic and tender, and altogether thrilling. Both moved and enthralled, I couldn’t stop reading.’

–Robert Clark

Author of
In the Deep Midwinter and
Love Among the Ruins



‘Huston treads where few writers dare, jumping fearlessly into the roiling cauldron of factious Central American politics, class, culture, and religions. No doubt it would have been easier to write a mere gloss, a panoramic report describing the horror of war, revolution, grinding poverty, and the inevitable human carnage. However, the lens through which Huston sees penetrates far deeper than a perusal of these surface wounds to examine the limits of family loyalty, faith, and the causes and cure of hatred.
A Land Without Sin is a compelling narrative that leaves me both haunted and hungry for more.’

–Gina Ochsner

Author of
People I Wanted to Be and
The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight



‘With some of the sheer excitement of H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines and the depth of soulful inquiry of Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory, Paula Huston’s A Land Without Sin is a savvy look at the violent struggles in southern Mexico over the last quarter century and a vivid perspective on the hopes and perils of liberation theology. It is a poignant and splendid book.’

–Ron Hansen
