"In John Keeble's extraordinary novel, Broken Ground, a social fable for our time, every element has its double in the illuminating realm of metaphor.... No other serious American novel has confronted so directly and so eerily the slithery power of corporate dominance over humble lives as well as over our changing, dehumanized landscape."

Lynne Sharon Schwartz, Hungry Mind Review
"Broken Ground rumbles with metaphor, and the book seems to propel itself toward revelations about our individual, collective, and national spirit."
-
Tim Nolan, New York Times Book Review
"Thoughtful reading that will entertain as it enlightens, Broken Ground is quite the read, very highly recommended."
