What They're Saying

Critics Review

Beautifully rendered … genuinely affecting and handsomely constructed . It moves for all the right reasons.

One of the most dazzling novelists writing today … It is simply stunning; thrilling, heartbreaking and unputdownable. Book of the Month. - Bookseller

Splendid …Tremendously assured and rich, moving from depictions of violence and crime to deep tenderness. The book’s emotional power once again demonstrates Egan’s extraordinary gifts. - Publishers Weekly, starred review

After stretching the boundaries of fiction in myriad ways, Pulitzer Prize winner Egan does perhaps the only thing left that could surprise: she writes a thoroughly traditional novel. It shouldn’t really be surprising, since even Egan’s most experimental work has been rich in characters and firmly grounded in sharp observation of the society around them. Here, she brings those qualities to a portrait of New York City during the Depression and World War II… haunting … Realistically detailed, poetically charged, and utterly satisfying: apparently there’s nothing Egan can’t do. - Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

Egan’s precise, calm underwater prose is a persistent pleasure - Daily Telegraph

A stunningly resourceful writer - Guardian
