Review:
An endearing coming-of-age first novel...remarkably tasty (FAY WELDON, MAIL ON SUNDAY)
I loved it from the first page, she's fluent and graceful and there's passion and tension, in fact all I want from a novel. The writing is so powerful and yet shows a restraint that tightens the whole atmosphere. An excellent read - I was gripped (MARGARET FORSTER)
Some novelists tiptoe. Not Gail Anderson-Dargatz. She makes her debut in full stride, breaking all the rules (BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE)
An alluring mix of the domestic and the darkly magical...skilled and subtle...storytelling verve, gorgeous descriptive evocations, passages of quiet lyricism, high suspense and hints of the supernatural (SCOTSMAN)
