“A powerful and extremely disturbing novel… The lyricism of Hester’s astonishingly beautiful and myopic voice is constant, even when the plot becomes terrifying and tragic…. This is an extraordinary, poetic novel that gives as much as it takes…it will also open a door on perception and understanding.”—Blogcritics.org
“A truly haunting tale that readers won’t soon forget, from a compelling, original voice.”—Publishers Weekly
“Laguna writes with lyrical economy, and her craft elevates a tale which in its bare outlines seems like sensational tabloid fare…A disturbing story graced by powerful, poetic prose.”—Kirkus Reviews
