Praise for Ultramarine

“It is rare that a story collection weaves its threads through so many varied corners of the world and leaves the reader with an overarching sense of the vulnerability of humanity in all its mutable forms.”
— Lorian Hemingway, critically acclaimed author of Walking Into the River, Walk on Water, and A World Turned Over
“Like a seismograph, Ultramarine slyly registers rumblings along international fault lines… without ever forgetting to acknowledge the primacy of love.”
— Alan Mahar, novelist and short story writer
“Weldon uses the backdrop of several nations to tell the stories of multiple
characters facing challenges that are as intricate as the countries she
finds them in.”
— Akeem Balogun, author of The Storm, a winner of the Somerset Maugham Award
“Each piece pulls us to that single place common to them all, the heart…a transnational collection.”
— Adnan Mahmutovich, author of At the Feet of Mothers and Thinner Than a Hair Source
