Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Colville's prose shines when it is at its most lyrical and most psychologically probing. . . . when Colville is at her best, we'll believe whatever she tells us.

* Kirkus Reviews *

Brisk, satisfying, and fiercely observant.

* Publishers Weekly *

"Colville's elegies are equal parts human and hopeful, fragile and feminine. They are, in the end, stories that give back agency to women and young girls in the specific areas they need it most."

* The Rumpus *
