Review

“Riveting . . . The narrative pacing is masterly, building tension even in the most psychologically subtle passages.”
–CHRISTOPHER LEHMANN-HAUPT
The New York Times

“QUIETLY GRIPPING . . . Jo shines steadily as the flawed and thoroughly modern heroine. As in her 1986 novel, The Good Mother, Miller shows how impulses can fracture the family.”
–USA Today

“MARVELOUS . . . POIGNANT . . . POWERFUL.”
–Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer

From the Paperback edition.
