Critical Praise

"By the book’s end, humanity is discovered in the unlikeliest places, and Cornelia learns that tempting as it is, you can’t always judge a woman by her hairstyle."

——New York Times

"The novel reveals layers of rich patina --- the story underneath is more complex, engaging, and surprisingly moving... de los Santos delivers an interconnected network of compelling little stories. Her writing is both vividly descriptive and surprisingly insightful."

——Boston Globe

"Prose that shines in moments of tenderness."
