| "It's got all the earmarks of a hit-- infectious and lovable narrator, a dash of magic, an impressive sweep and a heartrending but not treacly family drama." (starred review) 09/08/2008 ""Woven into the story of the sisters is a larger story of women and the ways they are forced to navigate the world." - Marta Segal Block 12/01/2008 "[I]t's one of those books that is really about everything -- love, death, friendship, realizing your own strengths, and learning compassion for your enemies. Tiffany Baker poured her whole heart into this weird and wonderful first novel -- and the result resembles its heroine: ungainly but magical; grotesque but true." - Mary Wisniewski 02/08/2009 "Fiction lovers, remember the name Tiffany Baker. She writes the kind of book you find yourself stealing time from workday chores to read." - Patty Rhule 02/12/2009 "Baker is fond of similes...which engage the reader's imagination without impeding the narrative. This narrative is fun, full of reversed expectations and dualities....For all its fascination with evil and mortality, there is a very American confidence and good humour to the narrative." - Alice Leader 06/26/2009 |
