Trade Review
Rose's book is a tour de force, a sustained piece of brilliant writing... harrowing, funny, heart-breaking and ultimately, despite its bleakness, a celebration of the human spirit.
Brilliant... I read it with sustained delight and admiration.
Rose Boyt writes with a vivid physical immediacy that can take the breath away. She is an original, with her own strange magic. * The Independent *
Boyt's language is poetic; her descriptions are vivid, often painful but always lively. * Publishers Weekly *
There's a sensual, pictorial clarity to Ms. Boyt's writing. * New York Times *
