It is well-organized conceptually, clearly written, and accessible.
- Thalia M. Mulvihill,
Daiute brings a lot of clarity to what has been a "fuzzy" field of inquiry. The many examples from her personal research connect the strategies she offers to actual studies. I recommend this text to other scholars working in narrative inquiry for their classes and/or guidance of their own research.
