“A compelling story, inspired with a deep insight into human nature.” –Times Literary Supplement (London)

"The tenderest book she has written. . . . Such a beautiful piece of work that while you are reading it, it is as if a picture you were watching came to life. . . . A magical performance." --The New Republic
