"Sweetness In The Belly is a deeply imagined immersion into the lives of people for whom war, poverty, marginalization and exile are all commonplace trials. Gibb's understanding of this world seems almost uncanny but it is her compassion for her characters that impresses the most. Here is a novel that challenges and disturbs as it enlightens and uplifts. A really exceptional achievement." Barbara Gowdy
