Critics Review
Percolates with suspense * New York Times *
Elegant and hypnotic … Mandel brilliantly modulates the heightening suspense in a novel that remains, above all, an elegy for lost innocence * Washington Post *
The book virtually trumpets the author’s talents: her charismatic verbal grace and acuity, the rich atmosphere she creates * Boston Globe *
Mandel is an exuberant storyteller * New York Times *
Mandel has a beautiful writing style * Independent on Sunday *
Mandel (The Singer’s Gun) strikes a confident chord in her third novel … The author again melds mystery plotting with literary techniques like shifting points-of-view, resulting in both sophistication and suspense … Mandel’s novel excels as a character study that considers the slow degradation of hopes, dreams, and expectations of people who are only in their late 20s but already feel ancient * Publisher’s Weekly *
This ingeniously structured literary thriller begins in sunlight before slipping deeper and deeper into crime and moral darkness. … Emily St. John Mandel is so sure-footed in her invention and so good at delineating her cast, that I went along trustingly and with bated breath * Star Tribune *
Riveting… Evocative, intriguing, and complex, this novel is as smooth as the underbelly of a deadly, furtive reptile. Mandel’s substantial fan base will rejoice; word of mouth will bring new fans on board * Library Journal *
