"O'Farrell is a very visual writer, creating dead-on images…This talent serves her well at the novel's startling and darkly rewarding finale."
New York Times
"Radiates the kind of energy that marks a classic…Think Kate Chopin's The Awakening, Charlotte Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' or Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea, stories that illuminate the suffering quietly endured by women in polite society…It's a breathtaking, heart-breaking creation…[a] fierce, engrossing novel."
Washington Post Book World
"Thoughtful, warm, elegantly written and totally shocking…a fantastic read, a real page-turner."
