"Atkinson writes with enough graceful brilliance to win over even the most intransigent skeptic.... Intelligent, sympathetic, and terribly funny, this is simply a wonderful book". -- The Boston Book Review
"Full of ambiguities and neat surprises, this novel from Britain has a rabbit hole of a story and an omniscient narrator, 16-year-old Isobel Fairfax, with knowledge of both past and future". -- Katharine Weber, The New York Times Book Review
"Kate Atkinson specializes in audacity, which she offers up with irresistible grace. Her combination of manic invention and runaway plot is usually found in science fiction sagas rather than in a literary tour de force of emotional and linguistic complexity". -- San Francisco Chronicle
"A potent and tender novel of many stories, spun by a girl abandoned by her adored mother and raised in a family horror show". -- Boston Sunday Globe
"Atkinson's language -- sometimes giddy, sometimes understated to accommodate the black comedy, occasionally frankly emotional -- is a joy". -- Valerie Sayers, Commonwealth
