Recensione

“Harrowing . . . it not only succeeds in conveying the horrors that parents may inflict upon their children,
but . . . manages to wring from its heroine’s story the hope and possibility of transcendence.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“A brilliant, overheated first novel simmering with everything one wouldn’t want to know about a family: incest, obsession, revenge.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Fascinating . . . Harrison describes twisted family mechanics with a stylish intensity that gives the grimness meaning.”
—The Boston Globe
