News & Reviews 3/20
Reviews The Golden Land Review in Vol.1 Brooklyn: "What makes The Golden Land a superb novel is the sheer facility of Shick’s storytelling. The book smoothly carries us along the story lines that run from Boston to Myanmar over fateful periods in both 1988 and 2011. This complex story weave never confuses, and it wraps with an unexpected yet fitting twist in its last pages."
