Description: Starred Review,B ooklist , June 1, 2012: "Though this is a more reflective affair than some of Lanagan's feistier works, her writing is as sumptuous as ever: a fine mist of lyrical elegance and sharp anguish that offers vast spaces to get lost in... A haunting, masterfully crafted novel that, as one should by now expect from Lanagan, isn't a bit like anything else." Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2012: "Bracing, powerful, resonant. . . . Earthy, vigorous characters and prose ground the narrative in the world we know, yet its themes are deep as the sea." Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, July 2, 2012: "Powerful. . . . A beautifully written story featuring a thoroughly realized setting and cast." --Publishers Weekly, Starred "I am in thrall to Margo Lanagan's voice.
