Critical Praise

"Evocative...[a] powerful tale...the characters stick with you."

——USA Today

"Haunting...a novel brimming with burning emotion . . . The story is the strengths and silences of the women, beauticians and waitresses, who raise their children and watch the men go down their own hallucinogenic road, followed by demons."

——Booklist

"Stunning . . . Lean and supple, completely persuasive, full of nuanced turns, dead on about how people try to bind and repel each other at the same time."

——The New York Times Book Review
