"First novelist Craig Danner tackles themes as lofty as the peaks that tower over his characters, while grounding his story in the closely observed details of rural life in northern India. A sense of spiritual craving permeates the book, propelling the story as swiftly as a thriller. Danner skillfully entwines the urgency and occasional despair of his heroine's medical work with the majesty and wonder of the mighty Himalayas."
—Winner, Pacific Northwest Book Award"Prose that sings...a vision that pierces the clouds at the top of the world and allows us to see beyond ourselves."
—Salem Statesman Journal"A breathtaking display of enormous talent."
—The Bellingham Herald"Don't miss it. Mr. Danner is a born storyteller, and writing with rare competence, he has given us a unique and unforgettable world."
—Pete Fromm, PNBA Award-winning author of How All This Started and Night Swimming"Himalayan Dhaba moves from gorgeous descriptions to telling insights to surprisingly gripping action with the speed and intensity of a bus plunge."
—Neal Stephenson, Hugo Award-winning author of Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash"Danner never makes a slip. He is a writer not only of place and person, but also of the soul."
—Pete Sinclair, author of We Aspired: The Last Innocent Americans"An engaging debut novel...A fresh spirit animates this tale, one carefully constructed, simply narrated, and briskly organized."
—Kirkus Review"Himalayan Dhaba is not so unlike something Paul Theroux might have written earlier in his career, and part poetry, for it is beautifully written and elegantly shaped."
