Recensione:
Lyrically written, emotionally explosive, the story of Frances and her father is one that will continue to haunt the reader’s thoughts long after the last page is finished. Verjee tells a story of a fractured family, depicting with empathy both predator and victim, suggesting that true healing and transformation becomes possible only in a world of greater compassion and understanding. Her novel is a testament to the ways our society fails to provide adequate resources to a family in trouble and how that lack of help leads only to a heartbreaking cycle of secrecy, suicide, alienation, and more abuse. On top of that, it is also an astonishing and artful debut by an unusually gifted young writer. - Margaux Fragoso, author of Tiger, Tiger
