Critics Review
Write or Die Magazine, A Must Read Book
“Ekhō, the mountain nymph of Greek myth, transforms her disability (as a result of Hera’s wrath, Ekhō can only repeat the speech of others) into a creative act in this imaginative debut from Orlando, who brings wry humor to the tale … A worthy collection.” —Publishers Weekly
