Recensione:
"Her debut collection paints a refreshingly surreal vision of small-town life... Selected by Granta as one of America's best young novelists, Russell is an intuitive writer with a gift for arresting prose" (Independent)
"An exuberant collection; each story bursts forth from the pages with a cacophony of imagery that sweeps up the reader" (The Times)
"Outrageously imaginative and profoundly funny... surreal... impressive in many ways... Her imagination is agile, like the body of a champion gymnast, and she lets it dance... Does anyone over here write like this, with such freedom, such vivacity? A wild and brilliant first book" (Irish Times)
"Arcane, magical tales of adolescent transformation... reminiscent of Angela Carter but wonderfully confident and refreshing in its own right" (Guardian)
"Delights in the quirky...truly magical and creepy settings" (Daily Mail)
